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 …

The wetting of solid surfaces using liquid droplets has been studied since the early 1800s.
Thomas Young and Pierre-Simon Laplace investigated the wetting properties, as well as the …

Laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a widely
accepted method for direct sampling of solid materials for trace elemental analysis. The …

The formation of patterns after the evaporation of colloidal droplets deposited on a solid
surface is an everyday natural phenomenon. During the past two decades, this topic has …

The evaporation of suspension droplets is the underlying mechanism in many surface-
coating and surface-patterning applications. However, the uniformity of the final deposit …

The drying of a drop of blood or plasma on a solid substrate leads to the formation of
interesting and complex patterns. Inter-and intra-cellular and macromolecular interactions in …

Droplet Wetting and Evaporation provides engineers, students, and researchers with the first
comprehensive guide to the theory and applications of droplet wetting and evaporation …

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 …

The coffee ring effect regularly occurs during the evaporation of colloidal droplets and is
often undesirable. Here we show that adding a specific concentration of a surfactant can …

In this paper, we report a study on the drying process of whole human blood drops on glass
substrates. It was shown previously (Brutin et al., 2011) that some diseases can change the …
