title: Contact-line speed and morphology in vertical deposition of diluted colloids.
abstract: We report experimental results on the speed of a receding contact line, in a vertical deposition configuration, during the deposition of polystyrene colloidal particles. We study the effects of the initial concentration of the suspension and compare the measured speeds with the corresponding dried deposit. It is observed that multilayer structures are associated with high speeds. This result is explained through a region in the bulk of the suspension where the concentration of particles increases until multilayer is formed depending on the porosity of the previously deposited structures.
