Abstract
A drop hitting a solid surface can deposit, bounce, or splash. Splashing arises from the breakup of a fine liquid sheet that is ejected radially along the substrate. Bouncing and deposition depend crucially on the wetting properties of the substrate. In this review, we focus on recent experimental and theoretical studies, which aim at unraveling the underlying physics, characterized by the delicate interplay of not only liquid inertia, viscosity, and surface tension, but also the surrounding gas. The gas cushions the initial contact; it is entrapped in a central microbubble on the substrate; and it promotes the so-called corona splash, by lifting the lamella away from the solid. Particular attention is paid to the influence of surface roughness, natural or engineered to enhance repellency, relevant in many applications.

Drop Impact onto a Substrate Wetted by Another Liquid: Flow in the Wall Film

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the impact of a drop onto a very thin liquid film of another liquid and measured the thickness of the film remaining on a substrate after drop impact using a chromatic-confocal line sensor.

High‐Efficiency Reclamation of Oscillating Energy During Multiple Droplets Impact on Bionic Lotus Surface

TL;DR: In this article, the impact and oscillation of multiple droplets on the porous superhydrophobic bionic lotus surface were studied by a high-speed camera system, and it was suggested that multiple droplet impact make more efficient use of the air cushion on the micrometer-nanometer-scale binary structure (MNBS) and show the selfcleaning performance of Surf•1 better.

Drop Impact Dynamics: Splashing, Spreading, Receding, Bouncing ...

TL;DR: In this article, a review deals with drop impacts on thin liquid layers and dry surfaces, referred to as splashing, and their propagation is discussed in detail, as well as some additional kindred, albeit nonsplashing, phenomena like drop spreading and deposition, receding (recoil), jetting, fingering, and rebound.

Inkjet printing of single-crystal films

TL;DR: It is shown that mixing fine droplets of an antisolvent and a solution of an active semiconducting component within a confined area on an amorphous substrate can trigger the controlled formation of exceptionally uniform single-crystal or polycrystalline thin films that grow at the liquid–air interfaces.

Robust omniphobic surfaces

TL;DR: Four design parameters are proposed that predict the measured contact angles for a liquid droplet on a textured surface, as well as the robustness of the composite interface, based on the properties of the solid surface and the contacting liquid, that allow two different families of re-entrant surfaces to be produced.
