TLDR
This study has studied the effect of different geometrical parameters of superhydrophobic copper meshes on different modes of droplet rebound, and observes that for flexible meshes, the transition to pancake type bouncing is induced at lower Weber numbers.Abstract:
When a droplet impacts a superhydrophobic sieve, a part of the droplet penetrates through it when the dynamic pressure (ρU2) of the impinging droplet exceeds the breakthrough pressure (γΓ/A). At higher impact velocities, the ejected-jet breaks and separates from the main droplet. The remaining part of the droplet bounces off the surface showing different modes (normal bouncing as a vertically elongated drop or pancake bouncing). In this work, we have studied the effect of different geometrical parameters of superhydrophobic copper meshes on different modes of droplet rebound. We observe three different effects in our study. Firstly, we observe pancake like bouncing, which is attributed to the capillary energy of the rebounding interface formed after the breaking of the ejected-jet. Secondly, we observe leakage of the droplet volume and kinetic energy due to the breaking of the ejected-jet, which leads to reduction in the contact times. Finally, we observe that for flexible meshes, the transition to pancake type bouncing is induced at lower Weber numbers. Flexibility also leads to a reduction in the volume loss from the ejected-jet. This study will be helpful in the design of superhydrophobic meshes for use under impact scenarios.read more

Biotemplated hierarchical surfaces and the role of dual length scales on the repellency of impacting droplets
Matthew McCarthy,Konstantinos Gerasopoulos,Ryan Enright,James N. Culver,Reza Ghodssi,Evelyn N. Wang +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of each length scale during droplet impact was investigated by decomposing the micro and nanoscale components of hierarchical superhydrophobic surfaces using the Tobacco mosaic virus and found that 10 µl water droplets rebounded at impact velocities greater than 4.3 µm/s.

The Effect of Surface Roughness on the Contact Line and Splashing Dynamics of Impacting Droplets.
TL;DR: It is found that this maximum dynamic contact angle, together with the liquid properties, the ratio of the peak to peak roughness and the surface feature mean width, determines the splashing to no-splashing threshold.

TL;DR: It is shown by balancing the dynamic impact and capillary pressures that the penetration behaviour is governed by a threshold pore size, the liquid characteristics and the droplet diameter, and the ability of a textile to repel water is controlled by the mesh size.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a simple drop-on-demand printing technique which replaces the use of a nozzle with a sieve, enabling printing of nanoparticle suspension with 71% mass-loading, performed for surface tension range of 72-32mNm-1 and viscosity up to 33mPas.

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.

TL;DR: A review of the fundamental and technological aspects of these subjects can be found in this article, where the focus is mainly on surface tension effects, which result from the cohesive properties of liquids Paradoxically, cohesive forces promote the breakup of jets, widely encountered in nature, technology and basic science.

Non-sticking drops
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how to make droplets stick to their substrates (even if they are inclined), which is a practical issue in many cases (windshields, window panes, greenhouses, or microfluidic devices).
