When two droplets with different surface tensions collide, the shape evolution of the merging droplets is asymmetric. Here, we reveal the importance of capillary waves in this process, and systematically study the influence of both inertia and surface tension. Counterintuitively, the Marangoni effect reduces the asymmetry.
