Abstract

Abstract : The tilt‐angle pillar array, similar to that of butterfly wing, effectively achieves the controlling of droplets in uni‐directional spreading along the tilt‐angle regulated direction from pillar to pillar as reported by Yucai Lin, Yongmei Zheng, and co‐workers in article number1800962 . Furthermore, the contrasting tilt‐angle array can be designed onto a surface to control two droplets moving directionally, which realize droplets coalescence as a microreactor.
