(color online) Changes of contact angles before and after C–W transition of droplets during evaporation. Experimental data originate from literature,[35]θI = 109°, θA = 109°. (a) d = 5 μm, H = 10 μm; (b) d = 14 μm, H = 30 μm. Note: the droplet volume required in model calculation was solved by using the measured droplet radius and contact angle.
