Bioinspired materials for droplet manipulation: Principles, methods and applications

Jinkai Xu, Siyu Xiu, Zhongxu Lian et al. · 1 Jul 2022

Abstract Droplet manipulation techniques such as transport and merging have been widely used in many fields including biology, chemistry, material and energy applications. Moreover, droplet manipulation strategies have been extensively investigated and reviewed in terms of droplet placement on solid surfaces. However, less attention has been paid to the practice of droplet manipulation technology in…

Bioinspired superwetting materials for water manipulation

Xu Leng, Linchao Sun, Yaojia Long et al. · 1 Oct 2022

Abstract Water manipulation is crucial for a wide range of engineering applications, such as microfluidics, heat transfer, desalination, and water harvesting. Despite scientific achievements in the past few decades, it remains challenging to achieve efficient and well‐controllable droplet transport in practical applications. In nature, creatures have evolved ingenious wisdom to manipulate water to adapt to…

A droplet‐based electricity generator with ultrahigh instantaneous output and short charging time

Nan Zhang, Huimin Zhang, Wanghuai Xu et al. · 1 Jul 2022

Abstract The past several years have witnessed the rapid development in effectively transforming randomly distributed water kinetic energy into electrical energy, especially triggered by the emergence of droplet‐based electricity generators (DEG). Despite this, it still suffers from relatively low average power density, which is also achieved at the cost of long charging time, the time…

From capture to transport: A review of engineered surfaces for fog collection

Youhua Jiang, Christian Machado, Kyoo‐Chul K. Park · 1 Apr 2023

Abstract Collecting microscale water droplets suspended in the wind, that is, fog, using permeable surfaces is a promising solution to the worldwide problem of water scarcity and is of great interest to industries, such as mist elimination and recapturing water in cooling towers. In the past few decades, this topic has attracted a drastically increasing…

Electrification of water: From basics to applications

Yuankai Jin, Chenyang Wu, Pengcheng Sun et al. · 1 Oct 2022

Abstract As the most common but indispensable matter to humankind, water usually stays in a macroscopically electric neutral state. Due to its inherent molecular polarity, however, water can be easily electrified, which builds a connection between water and electricity. Such a coupling of water and electricity abounds deep scientific basics and technological applications. The past…

Droplet template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Droplet format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Droplet template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Droplet use?
Droplet uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Droplet 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Droplet?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Droplet document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Droplet template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Droplet format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Droplet?
Droplet is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Droplet template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Droplet PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Droplet template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Droplet template cost?
You can start writing in the Droplet template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Droplet PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
