Abstract

The effect of wetting difference across the junction of smooth and groove-textured portions of a dual-textured surface on the various stages in the dynamics of liquid drops impacting on the junction is reported. Two dual-textured surfaces with substantially different wetting difference across their junction, (e)=65 degrees and 25 degrees, made of intrinsically hydrophilic stainless steel and intrinsically hydrophobic poly-di-methyl-siloxane (PDMS) are considered. The effect of wetting difference across the junction is dominantly seen on the net drop drift velocity and subsequent bulk drop movement, . on the PDMS dual-textured surface is less than that on the stainless dual-textured surface due to the lower wetting difference across the junction of the former. The variation of with impact velocity shows a contrasting trend between the stainless steel and PDMS dual-textured surfaces due to the difference in critical impact velocity corresponding to drop impregnation on their groove-textured portions.
