The impact of desiccant on the droplet impact outcome for different surface temperatures at three Weber numbers (a) and snapshots of the droplet rebound on the ST50 surface at We ≅ 185 and − 15 °C with silica gel as the desiccant (b). MS denotes the use of molecular sieves (RH < 7%) while SG denotes the use of silica gel (RH 15–20%).
