This review covers experimental results of evaporative lithography and analyzes existing
mathematical models of this method. Evaporating droplets and films are used in different …

Pattern formation from a silica colloidal suspension that is evaporating has been studied
when a movement is imposed to the contact line. This article focuses on the stick− slip …

In this article, we study the drying kinetics of a sessile droplet containing latex particles. We
find that a depletion film is left at the edge of the drops, whose width is controlled by two …

When a film of a liquid suspension of nanoparticles or a polymer solution is deposited on a
surface, it may dewet from the surface and as the solvent evaporates the solute …

A model simulating the drying of a solution in a meniscus in contact with a moving substrate
is developed. It takes into account the hydrodynamics in the solution in the framework of the …

We present an experimental investigation of the drying kinetics seen from inside a sessile
droplet laden with a colloidal sol of silica nanoparticles. We use fast, two-color confocal …

Geometric asymmetry and surface forces are used directly the shape transformation of two-
dimensional nanoparticle (NP)-based ribbons into three-dimensional helices. The balance …

A drop dried on a solid surface will typically leave a narrow band of solute deposited along
the contact line. Here we examine variations of this deposit due to the inclination of the …

Drying experiments with a receding contact line have been performed with silica colloidal
suspensions and polyacrylamide (PAAm) polymer solutions. The experimental setup allows …

When a droplet is placed on a solid surface, the pinning force on the contact line is the key
factor determining the dynamics of liquid droplet. As the apparent contact line position is not …
