Rolling, penetration and evaporation of alcohol-water drops on coarse and fine hydrophobic powders

Agglomeration of hydrophobic powders using aqueous solutions is an important technology. The outcome is linked to the particle wettability, but the mechanisms are not well-understood. We present a fundamental study of the early stages of agglomeration. Drops of alcohol-water mixtures were deposited...
