Deceleration Driven Wetting Transition During "Gentle" Drop Deposition
Hyuk-Min Kwon, Adam T. Paxson, Kripa K. Varanasi +1
We present high speed video of Cassie-Baxter to Wenzel drop transition during gentle deposition of droplets where the modest amount of energy is channeled via rapid deceleration in…

Preferential Condensation of water droplets using hybrid hydrophobic-hydrophilic surfaces
Adam T. Paxson, Kripa K. Varanasi, Tao Deng +2
We present a hybrid microtextured surface with heterogeneous hydrophilic-hydrophobic regions for condensing water vapor while maintaining anti-wetting behavior. Fluid dynamics vide…
