Spontaneous droplets gyrating via asymmetric self-splitting on heterogeneous surfaces
Controlling droplet impact and rebound behaviour can have applications in inkjet printing and self-cleaning. Here the authors show how a chemically-patterned surface with high-adhesive spirals surrounded by hydrophobic, low-adhesive regions leads to gyration behaviour of impacting droplets.
