Promoting rebound of impinging viscoelastic droplets on heated superhydrophobic surfaces

The rebound of impinging droplets is a defining characteristic of superhydrophobic surfaces; yet, such an intriguing interfacial phenomenon can be effectively suppressed by adding a tiny amount of flexible polymers to induce non-Newtonian viscoelastic properties. In this work, however, we demonstrat...
