Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

Evaporation of a drop, though a simple everyday observation, provides a fascinating subject
for study. Various issues interact here, such as dynamics of the contact line, evaporation …

Improving evaporation rate is extremely important to promote the application of solar steam
generation in clean water production through seawater desalination. However, the …

Although many solar‐driven water evaporators are developed for solar steam generation,
most solarthermal energy conversion materials cannot be used repeatedly for constructing …

The evaporation of a sessile droplet spontaneously induces an internal capillary liquid flow.
The surface-tension driven minimisation of surface area and/or surface-tension differences …

The special mechanical properties of nanoparticles allow for novel applications in many
fields, eg, surface engineering, tribology and nanomanufacturing/nanofabrication. In this …

A sessile drop is an isolated drop which has been deposited on a solid substrate where the
wetted area is limited by a contact line and characterized by contact angle, contact radius …

Coffee-ring effect is an omnipresent phenomenon, it features the circular deposition on the
surface after the evaporation of a droplet containing particles. Ever since the seminal report …

The literature on drying sessile droplets and deposition of suspended material is reviewed
including the simple explanation of the “coffee ring” deposit given by Deegan et al. 1 …

Standard transmission electron microscopy nanoparticle sample preparation generally
requires the complete removal of the suspending liquid. Drying often introduces artifacts …
