“…However, most of the literature is for shells of uniform thickness [16,17,18,19] or specific, engineered non-uniformities [20]; those with a thickness profile similar to that expected for evaporating droplets have not been investigated. Furthermore, the rich array of deformed shell profiles observed in experiments [3,4,5,6,7] has not, to the best of our knowledge, been systematically quantified as a function of the shell parameters, even for uniform shells.…”
