Abstract:The drying of solute-laden drops is ubiquitous in everyday life, from paints and printers to the raindrops drying on our windows. Nonetheless, scientific interest has primarily focused on understanding the evaporation kinetics on flat surface, with the key parameter of substrate inclination only recently started being addressed. This work focuses on the influence of moderate substrate inclinations at 20° and 40° on the evaporation kinetics and associated deposit patterns of colloidal drops. Inclination altered… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
