Effects of Particle Shape on Growth Dynamics at Edges of Evaporating Drops of Colloidal Suspensions

We study the influence of particle shape on growth processes at the edges of evaporating drops. Aqueous suspensions of colloidal particles evaporate on glass slides, and convective flows during evaporation carry particles from drop center to drop edge, where they accumulate. The resulting particle d...
