Abstract

Study of evaporation dynamics of liquid marbles at elevated temperature is essential to determine the feasibility of liquid marbles to be used as micro compartments for digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We have modified an existing theoretical model of evaporation of a liquid droplet and verified its applicability on the evaporation of liquid marbles. The evaporation dynamics of an individual and a group of liquid marbles are analysed. This paper demonstrates that the evaporation dynamics of liquid marbles obeys the theoretical framework for elevated temperatures. The evaporation of a group of liquid marbles are observed as a coupled function of their diameter, their number in a group, the vapour density of the surrounding atmosphere and their spatial distribution.
