Abstract
When an impacting drop is given a sufficiently high velocity, it is expected to splash shortly after impact, due to take-off of the spreading lamella. In this study, we show that the splashing threshold is decreased when the surface is cooled below the liquid freezing point, due to the interplay between solidification and spreading which affects the apparent dynamic wettability of the surface. This effect is such that below -60\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C, the splashing behavior becomes identical to that on superhydrophobic surfaces.
