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.

Sitting Phase Monolayers of Polymerizable Phospholipids Create Dimensional, Molecular-Scale Wetting Control for Scalable Solution-Based Patterning of Layered Materials

TL;DR: These results point to a broadly applicable strategy for achieving high-resolution solution-based patterning on layered materials, utilizing nanometer-wide patterns of protruding, charged functional groups in a noncovalent monolayer to define pattern edges.

Faceted and Circular Droplet Spreading on Hierarchical Superhydrophobic Surfaces.

TL;DR: It was shown that the nature of droplet spreading depended on both the Weber number and the topography of the post arrays, and the faceted triple line was observed for the Cassie-like retraction of droplets.

Edge effect: Liquid sheet and droplets formed by drop impact close to an edge

TL;DR: In this article, the formation and fragmentation of a liquid sheet upon impact of a drop close to the edge of a solid substrate was investigated and scaling laws were proposed to rationalize these scenarios based on impact parameters.

Scaling laws of the maximum spreading factor for impact of nanodroplets on solid surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the dynamics of low-viscosity nanodroplets impacting surfaces with static contact angles from θ = 73° to 180° via molecular dynamics simulations.

Dynamic Leidenfrost temperature of saturated water drops on textured surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an analytical model to predict dynamic Leidenfrost temperature for saturated water drops impacting on superheated smooth and textured surfaces. But the experimental results show that the Leiden frost temperature on textured surface increases at the same Weber number (We), as the pillar pitch becomes coarser.

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.

Candle Soot as a Template for a Transparent Robust Superamphiphobic Coating

TL;DR: An easily fabricated, transparent, and oil-rebounding superamphiphobic coating is designed, based on low-energy surfaces and roughness on the nano- and micrometer scales.

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.

Phenomena of liquid drop impact on solid and liquid surfaces

TL;DR: The fluid dynamic phenomena of liquid drop impact are described and reviewed in this article, and specific conditions under which the above phenomena did occur in experiments are analyzed and the characteristics of drop impact phenomena are described in detail.
