Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

The evaporation of a sessile droplet of liquid is a complex and multifaceted fundamental
topic of enduring scientific interest that is key to numerous physical and biological …

Toward next‐generation electroluminescent quantum dot (QD) displays, inkjet printing
technique has been convinced as one of the most promising low‐cost and large‐scale …

Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation has significant potential to improve the energy utilization
efficiency and provides a means for sustainable seawater desalination and water …

The evaporation of a sessile droplet spontaneously induces an internal capillary liquid flow.
The surface-tension driven minimisation of surface area and/or surface-tension differences …

Droplets abound in nature and technology. In general, they are multicomponent, and, when
out of equilibrium, have gradients in concentration, implying flow and mass transport …

Droplets of alcohol-based formulations are common in applications from sanitizing sprays to
printing inks. However, our understanding of the drying dynamics of these droplets on …

Abstract Hypothesis Thermal Marangoni flow in evaporating sessile water droplets is much
weaker in experiments than predicted theoretically. Often this is attributed to surfactant …

In the evaporation of microlitre liquid droplets, the accepted view is that surface tension
dominates and the effect of gravity is negligible. We report, through the first use of rotating …
