Abstract:Our discovery reveals the existence of an optimum SDS/CNT concentration ratio to achieve the highest conductivity of ring deposition for strain sensing.
“…The weights of the CNTs and SDS were measured using an A&D HR-200 analytical balance with a precision of 0.1 mg. According to our recent work, 15 the optimum concentration ratio for SDS and CNTs to achieve the best deposition in terms of density and conductivity is 1 : 1. Considering the concentration of 0.4 wt% for both of them, the CNTs and SDS were dispersed in deionized water.…”

“…In the second case, the conductivity of the printed pattern is considerably dependent on the density of the deposited CNTs, and alignment is not as critical. 15 There is an inverse correlation between the density of the accumulated CNTs and their electrical resistance. 15…”

“…38 Considering that Marangoni eddies can lead to unexpected distributions of solute particles 39 and have a tremendous impact on the deposition, 40 this contribution benefits from the results of the previous research done by our group. Inanlu et al 15 determined an optimum surfactant concentration in which CNTs are well dispersed in the aqueous phase and the surfactant-induced Marangoni flow has the lowest impact on the deposition, so the densest ring would be achievable.…”

Controllable patterning of bio‐compatible polymers in the presence of a cross‐linker in evaporating bi‐dispersed colloidal drops is of critical importance in functional coatings, bioprinting, and food packaging. This study investigates the effect of calcium chloride and sodium alginate concentration on the evaporative deposition and elemental distribution of dried‐out patterns. Different concentrations of alginate and salt in aqueous solutions are deposited on clean glass substrates to gain a deeper understanding of the final structures. Overall, the results indicate that changing the concentrations of sodium alginate and calcium chloride can significantly alter the elemental distribution and deposition uniformity of the final patterns. The modifications in relative concentration alter the physicochemical characteristics of the solution, resulting in significant changes in the pinning time and contact angle of the droplets that correspond to the alteration of the colloidal size and concentration, ultimately resulting in significant differences in deposition patterns. The dried‐out patterns are categorized based on their structures and mechanisms (crystallization, sedimentation, and adsorption) controlling the evaporative deposition, and then justified based on the competitive effects of cross‐linking, crystallization, and evaporation‐driven flows. Using scanning electron microscopy and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, the elemental distribution of dried‐out patterns is also mapped to substantiate the discussion made.
