Simple Model of Shape Evolution of Desiccated Colloidal Sessile Drop

arXiv:1108.4091

Abstract

We propose simple model of colloidal sessile drop desiccation. The model describes correctly both evolution of the phase boundary between sol and gel inside such a drop and the final shape of the dried film (deposit). The model is based on mass conservation and natural assumption that deposit (gel phase) prevents flows and evaporation.
