Dynamics of droplet motion over hydrophobic surfaces with functionalized and non-functionalized ferro particles.

ABSTRACT: Dynamically manipulating droplet motion on hydrophobic surfaces is crucial in various fields, including biomedical, sensing, actuation, and oil-water separation applications. Ferrofluid droplets can be manipulated and controlled using external magnetic forces. The creation of ferrofluids involves multiple procedures that can affect the functionality and stability of droplet manipulation, limiting their use in sustainable applications. This study investigates the dynamics of droplet motion over functionalized and non-functionalized ferroparticles, considering different droplet volumes, ferroparticle layer widths, and wt% concentrations. The translational and sliding velocities of the droplets are measured using high-speed camera recording with a tracker application. The finding revealed the
