Viscous droplet impingement on soft substrates
Marcus Lin, Quoc Vo, Surjyasish Mitra +1
Viscous droplets impinging on soft substrates may exhibit several distinct behaviours including repeated bouncing, wetting, and hovering, i.e., spreading and retracting after impac…

Bouncing-to-wetting transition for impact of water droplets on soft solids
Surjyasish Mitra, Quoc Vo, Tuan Tran
Soft surfaces impacted by liquid droplets trap more air underneath than their rigid counterpart. The extended lifetime of the air film not only facilitates bouncing behaviours of t…
