Drop Spray Electrification
Riko Kazama, Masaya Toda, Hans-Jürgen Butt +1
Charge separation during the breakup of water drop has been recognized since the early studies of waterfall and spray electrification, yet the role of controlled drop fragmentation…
Pre-charging polymer surfaces enhances droplet mobility and electrification
Shuaijia Chen, Kenta Morita, Dumindu Dassanayaka +4
Surface-bound electric charge on polymer materials can strongly influence droplet behaviour and solid-liquid charge transfer, but the mechanisms and the means to control these effe…
Polyelectrolyte adsorption at the solid-liquid interface favors receding contact line instability
Léa Delance, Diego Díaz, Arivazhagan G. Balasubramanian +3
Controlling the motion of non-Newtonian drops on surfaces is crucial for applications ranging from inkjet printing to biomedical devices and food processing. While the macroscopic…
How Spontaneous Electrowetting and Surface Charge affect Drop Motion
Chirag Hinduja, Benjamin Leibauer, Rishi Chaurasia +5
Water drops sliding on hydrophobic surfaces spontaneously separate charges at their rear. It is unclear how this charge separation affects the contact angles of a sliding drop. We…
Mechanisms in Slide Electrification of Liquid and Frozen Drops on Hydrophobic Surfaces
Rutvik Lathia, Benjamin Leibauer, Aaron D. Ratschow +2
The microscopic and fundamental origin of slide electrification, where droplets of water move across insulating surfaces accumulating and depositing electrical charges, is still de…
