Impact dynamics of flexible hydrogels on solid substrates of different wettabilities
Flexible hydrogel spheres impact solid surfaces with poroelastic liquid expulsion at low elasticity and elastic deformation at high elasticity, producing wettability-independent maximum spreading and force scalings, while retraction is generally suppressed by polymer adsorption.
