Soft Matter
​
Completed:
S1. Superhydrophobic macro-textures (see Gauthier et al. Nat. Commun. 2015)
S2. Bouncing Drops (see Carmigniani et al. Exp. Therm. Fluid Sci 2014)
Left: Drop impacting a superhydrophobic wire flush with a superhydrophobic plate.
Top Right: Drop recoiling off a superhydrophobic wire.
Top Left: Drop being split by a superhydrophobic wire.
The hydrophobocity, impact velocity, and size of the drop delineate various regimes of behavior.
