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 …

When thin films of colloidal fluids are dried, a range of transitions are observed and the final
film profile is found to depend on the processes that occur during the drying step. This article …

Drying usually results in various types of particle morphology that influence the properties
and the functionality of powders. Understanding how the final shape of the particle is formed …

In many technological applications, excess solvent must be removed from liquid droplets to
deposit solutes onto substrates. Often, the substrates on which the droplets rest may …

Crack formation is a frequent result of residual stress release from colloidal films made by
the evaporation of colloidal droplets containing nanoparticles. Crack prevention is a …

Drying of droplets on inclined substrates is relevant to applications such as spray coating,
ink-jet printing, and crime-scene reconstruction. Recent experiments have shown that …

Solute self-organization during evaporation of colloidal sessile droplets has attracted the
attention of researchers over the past few decades due to a variety of technological …

The drying of complex fluids provides a powerful insight into phenomena that take place on
time and length scales not normally accessible. An important feature of complex fluids …

In this work, a comprehensive series of experiments is conducted to investigate the drying
behavior of micro-and nanosized particle dispersions. To this end, an acoustic levitator was …

The drying of milk concentrate droplets usually leads to specific particle morphology
influencing their properties and their functionality. Understanding how the final shape of the …
