Rupture of liquid films formed during droplet impact on a dry solid surface was studied experimentally. Water droplets (580±70 μm) were photographed as they hit a solid substrate at high velocities (10–30 m s −1 ). Droplet–substrate wettability was varied over a wide range, from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic, by changing the material of the substrate (glass, Plexiglas, wax and alkylketene dimer). Both smooth and rough wax surfaces were tested. Photographs of impact showed that as the impact velocity increased and the film thickness decreased, films became unstable and ruptured internally through the formation of holes. However, the impact velocity at which rupture occurred was found to first decrease and then increase with the liquid–solid contact angle, with wax showing rupture at all impact velocities tested. A thermodynamic stability analysis combined with a droplet spreading model predicted the rupture behaviour by showing that films would be stable at very small or at very large contact angles, but unstable in between. Film rupture was found to be greatly promoted by surface roughness.

The formation and rupture of gas film in the process of formation, rupture and coalescence of antibubbles were investigated by high-speed photography. It was found that a gas film will appear and wrap a droplet when the droplet hit a layer of liquid film or foam before impacting the gas-liquid interface. The gas film may survive the impact on the gas-liquid interface and act as the gas film of an antibubble. A multilayer droplet will be formed when the droplet hits through several layer of liquid films, and a multilayer antibubble will be formed when the multilayer droplet impact a gas-liquid interface or a single layer of foam on the liquid surface. The way to generate antibubbles by liquid films will undergo the formation and rupture of gas films. The coalescence of two antibubbles, which shows a similar merging process of soap bubbles, also undergo the rupture and formation of gas films. The rupture of gas film of antibubble caused by aging and impact is also discussed.

Waves! Spatial structures on flowing liquid films contribute immensely to drop impact dynamics and notably alter the impact outcomes.
