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 …

The simple, easy and rapid technique of “drop casting” is widely used to prepare the surface
of chemically modified electrodes in which the modifying layer is composed of particles such …

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 …

Transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), as a promising class of two-dimensional
inorganic compounds, are materials composed of a few atomic layers of transition metal …

Evaporation of sessile droplets containing non-volatile solutes dispersed in a volatile solvent
leaves behind ring-like solid stains. As the volatile species evaporates, pinning of the …

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 …

Black phosphorus is a two-dimensional material of great interest, in part because of its high
carrier mobility and thickness dependent direct bandgap. However, its instability under …

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 …

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 …
