“…The collision and contact process between water droplets and a solid surface is a dynamic physical phenomenon that occurs at the solid-liquid-gas interface between three phases ( Wu et al., 2011 ). During the collision process, the contact wetting status between the water droplets and solid surface plays a dominant role in the applications of microfluidics, drug delivery, oil-water separation, anti-fog water collection, and printing ( Liu et al., 2021 ; Lu et al., 2022 ; Mi et al., 2019 ; Whitesides, 2006 ; Yarin, 2006 ; Zhou et al., 2020 ; Wang et al., 2022a , 2022b ). Nevertheless, the uncertainty of water droplet bounce limits its further development in these fields.…”
