Role of surface wettability in electric-field-induced instability of water droplets
This study experimentally investigates how surface wettability and adhesion influence the deformation and stability of water droplets in a uniform external electric field. Special focus is placed on highly hydrophobic surfaces with strong adhesion (“rose petal effect”), which may arise on functional coatings during ope...
