Phase separation driven by solvent evaporation of emulsions can be used to create polymeric microcapsules. The combination of emulsion solvent evaporation with ink-jet printing allows the rapid fabrication of polymeric microcapsules at a target locat...

Emulsion solvent evaporation is a well-established method for generating microparticles from solutions of polymers in volatile organic solvents dispersed in an aqueous medium. Previous work has shown that this approach can also be used to deposit par...

The evaporation of colloidal drop on a substrate with a pinned contact line usually results in a ring stain (the so-called coffee-ring effect). In this paper, we present an investigation of the evaporation of sessile picoliter droplets of binary solv... Read More about Drying of ethanol/water droplets containing silica nanoparticles.
