Impact dynamics and rebound of water droplets on superhydrophobic carbon nanotube arrays
Abstract
The authors report the impact response of water droplets impinging on superhydrophobic carbon nanotube arrays and observe that arrays with different wetting properties display significantly different responses. For an array with a static contact angle of 163°, the droplet bounces off the surface several times, while for an array with a reduced contact angle of 140°, the droplet does not rebound and remains pinned. The contact angle hysteresis and contact line pinning for the 140° array suggest that the momentum of the droplet during the initial impact enables it to penetrate and displace the air pockets that are responsible for the superhydrophobicity of the array under static conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
