Jetting micron-scale droplets onto chemically heterogeneous surfaces

We report experiments investigating the behavior of micron-scale fluid droplets jetted onto surfaces patterned with lyophobic and lyophilic stripes. The final droplet shape is shown to depend on the droplet size relative to that of the stripes. In particular, when the droplet radius is of the same o...
