Thermocapillary motion on lubricant-impregnated surfaces

Thermocapillary motion on lubricant-impregnated surfaces

We show that thermocapillary-induced droplet motion is markedly enhanced when using lubricant-impregnated surfaces as compared to solid substrates. These surfaces provide weak pinning, which makes them ideal for droplet transportation and specifically for water transportation. Using a lubricant with...
