Water Droplet Bouncing on a Superhydrophobic Carbon Nanotube Array


This video was brought to ChEnected's attention via Thoughtware.TV:

The first two parts of the video show the impact dynamic of 30 microliters water droplet at different impact velocity. At low impact velocity of 1.03 m/s, the water droplet deforms upon impact and eventually bounces off completely of the surface of the array. At higher impact velocity of 2.21 m/s, the droplet breaks up into many smaller droplets and eventually bounces off completely of the surface of the array.
