Abstract:
In this study, we examined the impacts of a millimeter sized water drop hitting a layer of uniformly distributed particles on a hydrophilic/hydrophobic glass slide. A ring/disc structure without particles was formed and modified by two mechanisms: pushout and pullback. The pushout factor dominated the process when the drop hit on the hydrophilic glass slide, while the pullback factor played a decisive role during impact on the hydrophobic surface. The rebound of a drop on the hydrophobic surface formed a disc-shaped ring. We showed that the ratio of the effects of these two factors on the ring/disc width were independent from the impact speed, in both experimental and scaling analyses. Our results also suggested that higher hydrophobicity of a water drop on the hydrophobic glass slide, instead of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particle surface, resulted in a lower maximum spreading distance when the drop hit the PMMA particle layer on a hydrophobic surface.
