This work focuses on situations in which movement and liquid repellency are combined. First, we study dynamic hydrophobicity, a phenomenon created by the horizontal movement of a flat surface, here a rotating plate of bare aluminum. When the surface reaches a critical velocity, approaching droplets cannot penetrate the boundary layer of air that covers the surface, thus protected from wetting. Droplets that are gently deposited on the substrate levitate a few micrometers above the surface, while falling droplets can bounce off, much faster than in other non-wetting situations. If the plate moves fast enough, all liquids can be repelled, creating an omniphobic surface.In a second part, we investigate the dynamics of drops in contact with sur...
