Abstract
In this study, the impact of ferrofluid droplets on slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) is explored. A model is proposed to take account of the reduction in the initial volume of the ferrofluid droplet caused by the nonuniform external magnetic field. Five modes are identified based on the distinctive postimpact characteristics, and the corresponding phase diagram is summarized. In the low Weber number range (We ≤ 50), the low energy dissipation caused by the low friction characteristics of the SLIPS, combined with the suppression effect of magnetic field on the lateral expansion of the droplet, accumulates the kinetic energy in the vertical direction. Consequently, the bounce height of the ferrofluid droplet on the SLIPS increases with We, which is contrary to that for the superhydrophobic surfaces. The results offer deeper insights into the magnetic controlled droplet rebound and the impact dynamics across diverse surface types.
期刊介绍:
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
