Precisely regulating the dynamic behavior of droplet impact is of great significance for energy harvesting, anti-icing, inkjet printing, pesticide spraying, and many other fields. Various rebounding behaviors (deposition, rebounding, rotation, instability control, and so on) and rebounding intrinsic parameters (such as contact time) after droplets impacting on solid surfaces can be regulated by surface engineering. This paper reviews the advances in regulating droplet impact behavior from the perspective of symmetry by modifying solid surfaces from the following aspects: chemical modification and physical structure regulation, in which the symmetry is discussed from mirror symmetry and rotational symmetry. Firstly, the symmetry of the droplet impact dynamics and its influencing factors are introduced. Then the modulation of droplet impact symmetry, using homogeneous and heterogeneous chemically modified solid surfaces, is summarized. The following presents the influence of physical structures, from micro to macro scale compared to the droplet size, on the droplet impact symmetry. Finally, the future challenges and opportunities of the droplet impact behavior regulation are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":100381,"journal":{"name":"Droplet","volume":"2 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dro2.52","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50143776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a flow-focusing junction, a straightforward way to increase droplet production rate is to increase the flow rates. However, at a critical flow velocity, the droplet monodispersity breaks down due to a transition from the dripping to the jetting regime. As a result, a much more polydisperse droplet population is generated. The change from monodisperse to polydisperse droplet production emerges from the intrinsic properties of the instabilities of jets. In the jetting regime, droplet pinch-off is governed by a convective instability which amplifies random noise when traveling down the jet leading to an irregular breakup. We show that with the use of an amplitude-modulated electric signal, we select the breakup frequency of the jet. Matching the perturbation frequency close to the natural breakup frequency of the jet, we increase the monodispersity of the droplet population. This method is applicable to droplet production at a high throughput, that is, beyond the dripping to jetting threshold, including an active control since the frequency, and hence droplet sizes, are determined by the forcing frequency.</p>","PeriodicalId":100381,"journal":{"name":"Droplet","volume":"2 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dro2.45","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50133000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the oxidase-based enzymatic reactions, the elaborately regulating of reactant oxygen are critical to the development of an oxidase-based high-performance biosensor. In solid–liquid diphase condition, however, the kinetics of oxidase-catalyzed reactions is inhibited by delayed mass transport and poor solubility of oxygen. To address this limitation, the design of the solid–liquid–air triphase interface is proposed according to the binary cooperation of superhydrophobicity and hydrophilicity. On the triphase joint interface, oxygen required for the oxidase-catalyzed reactions can diffuse directly to the reaction center from the air phase through the micro/nanostructured superhydrophobic substrate, thus improving the kinetics of the oxidase-catalyzed reactions. In this minireview, we summarize recent advances in the fabrication of triphase reaction system based on different superhydrophobic substrate for oxidase-based biosensors.

Nature provides many examples of interface-driven droplet sliding control; yet, to date, the continuous governing of the multiphase process and precise steering of droplet sliding remain challenging. Here, directional-dependent ultraslippery patterned surfaces with significant droplet sliding anisotropy were created by coordinating the heterogeneous wettability of the back of the dessert beetle, directional-dependent architecture of the butterfly wing, and ultraslippery configuration of the <i>Nepenthes alata</i>. Analysis of the sliding resistance on typical ultraslippery patterned surfaces reveals that the directional-dependent triple phase line (TPL) immigration on the ultraslippery patterns dominates the strong sliding anisotropy, which can be modeled using the classic Furmidge equation. In particular, the sliding anisotropy for the semicircular ultraslippery patterned surface shows threefold higher than that of natural butterfly wings due to the most significant difference in TPL immigration in two opposite directions, which enables the simultaneous handling of multiple droplets without mass loss and steering of droplet sliding/friction. This work may transform the design space for the control of multiphase interface motion and the development of new lab-on-a-chip and droplet-based microsystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":100381,"journal":{"name":"Droplet","volume":"2 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dro2.46","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50142590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
