Ultrafast Spontaneous Motion of Nanodroplets
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yin-Chuan Chuang +4
Making liquid droplets move spontaneously on solid surfaces is a key challenge in lab-on-chip and heat exchanger technologies. The best-known mechanism, a wettability gradient, doe…
Driving Droplets by Curvi-Propulsion
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yin-Chuan Chuang +4
How to make small liquid droplets move spontaneously and directionally on solid surfaces is a challenge in lab-on-chip technologies, DNA analysis, and heat exchangers. The best-kno…
Ultrafast Drop Movements Arising from Curvature Gradient
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yin-Chuan Chuang +3
We report experimental observation of a kind of fast spontaneous movements of water drops on surfaces of cones with diameters from 0.1 to 1.5 mm. The observed maximum speed (0.22 m…
Curvature Gradient Driving Droplets in Fast Motion
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yajun Yin +2
Earlier works found out spontaneous directional motion of liquid droplets on hydrophilic conical surfaces, however, not hydrophobic case. Here we show that droplets on any surface…
Surface Curvature-Induced Directional Movement of Water Droplets
Cunjing Lv, Chao Chen, Yajun Yin +1
Here we report a surface curvature-induced directional movement phenomenon, based on molecular dynamics simulations, that a nanoscale water droplet at the outer surface of a graphe…
