Abstract

The physics of the effects of electric field on the desiccation of colloidal droplets, comprising of dispersed negatively charged nanoparticles [2 μl, 1(w/w. %)], are studied in a standard electrowetting-on-a-dielectric configuration. The extent of contact line pinning during evaporation is found to be a function of the magnitude of the applied voltage and quantified in terms of the dimensionless electrowetting number (η). The pinned contact line led to higher particle compaction as evidenced by the characterization of dried colloidal film thicknesses. Crack formation and their dynamics have been analyzed in detail to elicit the interplay of forces near the contact line region and on the compaction front. These aspects of crack formation are elucidated in the light of magnitude and polarity of the applied electric field. It is found to influence the crack front initiation velocity, the geometry, the number of cracks, and an attempt is made to explain the same via first principle-based approaches. Therefore, this study indicates the possibility of using electrowetting as a technique to fine-tune the crack formation behavior in thin colloidal films.

电介质电润湿(EWOD)平台上的胶体液滴干燥。
在标准的电介质电润湿配置中,研究了电场对胶体液滴干燥的物理影响,胶体液滴由分散的带负电纳米粒子 [2 μl, 1(w/w. %)]组成。研究发现,蒸发过程中接触线的针化程度是外加电压大小的函数,并以无量纲电润湿数 (η) 进行量化。从干燥胶体膜厚度的表征中可以看出,针状接触线导致更高的颗粒压实度。对裂纹的形成及其动态进行了详细分析,以揭示接触线区域附近和压实前沿的相互作用力。根据外加电场的大小和极性阐明了裂纹形成的这些方面。研究发现,电场会影响裂纹前沿的起始速度、几何形状和裂纹数量,并试图通过基于第一原理的方法来解释这些问题。因此,这项研究表明,可以使用电润湿技术对胶体薄膜的裂纹形成行为进行微调。
