Superhydrophobic patterns were fabricated on hydrophilic surfaces by selective painting. The impinging process of water droplets on these hybrid surfaces was investigated. The droplet can be split by impinging on the hydrophilic surface with a single stripe at a high velocity. The time to split the droplet is independent of the impact velocity and it is smaller than the contact time of a droplet impinging on the fully superhydrophobic surface. The volume ratios of the split mini-droplets could…

Trace Material Capture by Controlled Liquid Droplets on a Superhydrophobic/Hydrophilic Surface.
TLDR
To induce a liquid droplet to a collecting spot, its rolling direction was controlled by two superhydrophobic fabric guides, and the liquid droplets was captured by hydrophilic polymer and hydrophobic nanoparticles at the measuring spot.

No-Loss Transportation of Water Droplets by Patterning a Desired Hydrophobic Path on a Superhydrophobic Surface.
TLDR
This work presents no-loss transportation by fabricating a hydrophobic path on the same surface under tangential wind, and demonstrates that the lower (or upper) critical wind velocity, under which the droplet starts on the path (or is derailed from the path), is determined by the width of the path, the length of the contact area in the direction parallel to the path and the surface wettability of the pattern.

Cutting a Drop of Water Pinned by Wire Loops Using a Superhydrophobic Surface and Knife
TLDR
A water drop on a superhydrophobic surface that is pinned by wire loops can be reproducibly cut without formation of satellite droplets and combining the cutting process with an electrofocusing driving force could enable a reproducible biomolecular separation without troubling satellite drop formation.

Effect of droplet morphology on growth dynamics and heat transfer during condensation on superhydrophobic nanostructured surfaces.

TLDR
The results of extensive experimental studies of the sliding of water drops on chemically heterogeneous surfaces formed by square and triangular hydrophobic domains printed on glass surfaces and arranged in various symmetric patterns find the critical Bond number is found to be strongly affected by the shape and the spatial arrangement of the domains.
