Journal ArticleDOI
The force of impacting rain
Dan Soto,Dan Soto,Aurélie Borel De Larivière,Aurélie Borel De Larivière,Xavier Boutillon,Christophe Clanet,Christophe Clanet,David Quéré,David Quéré +8 more
TL;DR: This work imagines two kinds of devices allowing us to deduce the size of the raindrop from impact forces, considering natural parameters such as drop radius and density, impact speed and response time of the substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Fluorinated iCVD Coatings for Nonwetting Fabrics
TL;DR: In this article, an approach is developed that allows for iCVD deposition of durable, conformal short fluorinated polymers stabilized with a crosslinking agent, which exhibits remarkable hydrophobic properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-peeling of impacting droplets
TL;DR: In this paper, a competition between heat extraction and fluidity control the behavior of molten tin droplets on clean substrates, forgoing the need for surface treatment, and they either stick or spontaneously detach depending on the substrate temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Droplet fragmentation using a mesh
TL;DR: In this paper, the atomization of droplets impacting a mesh, starting with the elementary unit of a single hole, is investigated, and it is shown how this process can be used to generate finely controlled sprays with micrometric droplet sizes and low kinetic energy, as is critical for agricultural applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic Butterfly Scale Surfaces with Compliance‐Tailored Anisotropic Drop Adhesion
Hangbo Zhao,Sei Jin Park,Sei Jin Park,Brian R. Solomon,Sanha Kim,Dan Soto,Adam T. Paxson,Kripa K. Varanasi,A. John Hart +8 more
TL;DR: Inspired by the flexible scales of the Morpho aega butterfly wing, synthetic surfaces coated with flexible carbon nanotube microscales with anisotropic drop adhesion properties are fabricated and it is demonstrated that the anisotropy of drop roll-off angle is influenced by the geometry, compliance, and hydrophobicity of the scales.
