Biological processes and technological applications cannot work without liquid control, where versatile water droplet manipulation is a significant issue. Droplet motion conventionally manipulated by functionalizing the target surface or utilizing additives in droplet, still, with uncontrolled limitation on superhydrophobic surfaces since droplets are either unable to move fast difficult stop while moving. A controllable high-speed "all-in-one" no-loss manipulation, that is, in-plane moving...
Effective, long-range, and self-propelled water elevation transport are important in industrial, medical, agricultural applications. Although research has grown rapidly, existing methods for film still limited. Scaling up practical applications an energy-efficient way remains a challenge. Inspired by the continuous cross-boundary on peristome surface of Nepenthes alata, here we demonstrate use peristome-mimetic structures controlled bending biomimetic plates into tubes. The fabricated have...
The ballistic ejection of liquid drops by electrostatic manipulating has both fundamental and practical implications, from raindrops in thunderclouds to self-cleaning, anti-icing, condensation, heat transfer enhancements. In this paper, the jumping behavior a superhydrophobic surface is investigated. Powered repulsion same kind charges, water can jump surface. acting time for microliter supercooled drop only takes several milliseconds, even shorter than icing. addition, one control direction...
Abstract Water‐based lubricants have attractive properties compared to flammable oily but in high‐temperature environments remain a tricky challenge due the Leidenfrost effect‐induced poor wettability once contacting sufficiently hot surfaces. Herein, surfactant‐modified Laponite nanoclay (LNC), as prototype water‐based lubricant with considerable lubricity, exhibits spontaneous by which point (LFP) can be improved above ≈350 °C on crude stainless steels, increasing ≈140°C pure water. The...
Abstract Self‐propulsion of droplets in a controlled and long path at high‐speed is crucial for organic synthesis, pathological diagnosis programable lab‐on‐a‐chip. To date, extensive efforts have been made to achieve droplet self‐propulsion by asymmetric gradient, yet, existing structural, chemical, or charge density gradients can only last while (<50 mm). Here, this work designs symmetrical waved alternating potential (WAP) on superhydrophobic surface discharge the during transport...
Inkjet printing of water-based inks on superhydrophobic surfaces is important in high-resolution bioarray detection, chemical analysis, and high-performance electronic circuits devices. Obtaining uniform spreading a drop surface still challenge. Uniform round inkjet patterns are demonstrated without splash or rebound after high-speed impacting by introducing live-oligomeric surfactant adhesion. During impact, the molecules aggregate into dynamic, wormlike micelle networks, which jam at...
Significance Liquid manipulation is of significance not only for industrial spraying and drainage facilities, but also the survival creatures. Plant leaves perform excellently in rainwater leaf drying at apex to avoid damage. Here we demonstrate that structure enhances water shedding with high dripping frequencies low retention volumes. Based on understanding tiny controlling delivery plant leaf, evolutionary law shape could be further revealed. The shape-controlled liquid mechanism would...
