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 …

Drying drops of colloidal dispersions have attracted attention from researchers since the
nineteenth century. The multiscale nature of the problem involving physics at different …

Drying of biologically-relevant sessile droplets, including passive systems such as DNA,
proteins, plasma, and blood, as well as active microbial systems comprising bacterial and …

Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a
dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the …

Fascinating pattern formation by quasi-static crack growth in thin films has received
increasing interest in both interdisciplinary science and engineering applications. The paper …

The uneven deposition at the edges of an evaporating droplet, termed the coffee-ring effect,
has been extensively studied during the past few decades to better understand the …

This review is devoted to the simple process of drying a multicomponent droplet of a
complex fluid which may contain salt or other inclusions. These processes provide a …

The pattern and profile of a dried colloidal deposit formed after evaporation of a sessile
water droplet containing polystyrene particles on a non-uniformly heated glass are …

We report the effect of polarity and surface charge density on the nucleation and growth
kinetics of desiccation cracks in deposits of colloids formed by drying. We show that the …

A sensitive, non-invasive, and biomarker detection in tear fluids for inflammation in
potentially blinding eye diseases could be of great significance as a rapid diagnostic tool for …
