Abstract

Abstract : Droplet Dynamics Yanyao Bao and colleagues report on the spreading and bouncing modes of droplets impacting on rough surfaces. The results in article number 2201873 suggest that a higher surface area and roughness promote the transition from bouncing to wetting of a droplet, benefiting surface design for facilitating droplet non‐adhesion features during transport.
