Droplet lift-off from hydrophobic surfaces from impact with soft-hydrogel spheres
Droplet rebound on superhydrophobic surfaces usually occurs during the retraction phase after reaching a maximum spread diameter, even in binary impacts. The authors report a rebound phenomenon in which a sessile droplet on a hydrophobic surface lifts off in its spreading phase following the impact...
