Fig. 3.. (a) Illustration of the moving behavior when the droplet on a surface with two different wettabilities. (b) The distribution of water droplets when water droplets fall on the surface of a fabric with two different wettabilities. (c)-(f) Scheme and condensation dynamics of Cu-SHL, Cu-SHB, Cu-SHL-SHB and Cu-SHB-SHL patterned fabric from 0 min to 60 min. The water in the sprayer was dyed with methyl blue. The scale bars are 2 mm.
