Impact of varying preparation methods of colloidal suspensions on droplet desiccation patterns on hydrophobic and hydrophilic substrates

Abstract: The patterns left by desiccating droplets of colloidal solutions form an integral part of a gamut of applications in technology, medicine and fundamental science. While almost all attention is reserved for understanding flow dynamics of drying droplets and the resulting dried droplet pattern with respect to variation of a host of parameters, there is almost a total absence of any discussion on the importance of the ‘mixing methods’ of solute and solvent during solution preparation. We demonstrate in this work,… Show more

“…The protocol of solution preparation of a droplet can greatly affect the final pattern of the dried deposit as has been reported by Khatun et al [33]. In our experiments we have faithfully followed the protocol described below, thereby ensuring that the results are not manifestations of preparation methods.…”

“…Aqueous solution of the synthetic clay Laponite ® RD was prepared following meticulous protocol [48]. The pH in each case was adjusted by adding required amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH from Sigma Aldrich) beads to 20ml of deionised water, which was then left undisturbed for 30 minutes.…”
