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 …

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 …

Detecting target analytes with high specificity and sensitivity in any fluid is of fundamental
importance to analytical science and technology. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering …

Nature has developed materials, objects, and processes that function from the macroscale to
the nanoscale. The emerging field of biomimetics allows one to mimic biology or nature to …

A sessile drop is an isolated drop which has been deposited on a solid substrate where the
wetted area is limited by a contact line and characterized by contact angle, contact radius …

When thin films of colloidal fluids are dried, a range of transitions are observed and the final
film profile is found to depend on the processes that occur during the drying step. This article …

This review paper presents the diversity of plant surface structures from a single cell to multi-
cellular surface sculptures. There is still no comprehensive book which provides an …

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 …

DNA chips are potentially powerful technologies for genotyping and gene expression
profiling that rely on comparative analyses of up to thousands of “spots of analysis” on a …

The objective of this review is to investigate different deposition patterns from dried droplets
of a range of fluids: paints, polymers and biological fluids. This includes looking at …
