Microdrops Evaporating from Deformable or Soluble Polymer Surfaces - Drops and Bubbles in Contact with Solid Surfaces - page 125

a capillary flow is generated inside the drop and transports material from the centre
to the rim and eventually deposits it there. We pointed out that some of these pro-
cesses are by now understood to a fair extent, while for some others experimental
and modelling efforts are still required.
