Abstract
⺠The shear-thinning effect causes a drop to spread widely and recedes rapidly. ⺠Wettability has a minor effect on spreading but a significant effect on receding. ⺠Low-viscosity drops impacting on a hydrophobic surface at high velocity recede fast. ⺠A drop with a small degree of shear-thinning rebounds from a hydrophobic surface. ⺠Receding of high-viscosity drops impacting on a hydrophilic surface is suppressed.
