Drop-dry method

Drop-dry method " where a few drops of the monomer solution are applied to the electrode surface and the solvent allowed to dry. Spin-coating where a droplet of a solution of the monomer is applied to the surface of a rotating electrode. Multiple layers may be applied in this way until the desired thickness is obtained. 

Xu et al. [61] described the modification of GC electrode with nitrogen-doped graphene (N-G) noncovalently functionalized with CoPc by the drop-dry method (schematic illustration shown in Fig. 11. 

Friction factor-dry pressnre drop correction methods... 

This method consists of allowing drops of a known volume from a calibrated pipette to fall from a predetermined height (2-3 cm) onto a plate of thoroughly dried agar. The plates are then incubated and counted, the total count being computed from the dilution factor and the volume of the drop. This method... 

Particle Detachment as Affected by Method of Dust Deposition, Time of Exposure to Stream, and Type of Surface Material. Under actual exposure conditions, surfaces may become dusty by methods other than free settling. Dust particles may be found in raindrops, and the particles will precipitate on surfaces along with these drops. In air, when the drops dry, the adhesion of such particles becomes much stronger (see Section 18).

It was nevertheless observed that drying method could possibly lead to performance drop at rated conditions (Pinton, 2009a Luo, 2010). Consequently, if the shutdown strategy procedure includes a drying stage, it will have to be chosen carefully using the following options ... 

Effect of the Methods of Dust Deposition and the Properties of the Surface on the Detachment of Particles. It is well known that there are other ways in which plates become dusty as well as by free settling. Dust particles may occur in drops of rain and settle on surfaces at the same time as these. When the drops dry in the air, the adhesion of such particles becomes much stronger (see 26). The following represents some experimental data relating to the efficiency with which particles are removed by a flow of water (i.e., the variation in the coefficient K ) as a function of the method by which the particles are deposited on the surface ... 

Gas sensor applications of hybrids based on MN4-MC and CNTs have also been described. Liang et al. [55] demonstrated the fabrication and application of 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(2,2,3,3-tetralluoropropoxy) metal(II) phthalocyanines functionalized carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/TFPMPc, M=Co, Zn, Cu, Pb, Pd, and Ni) for NH3 detection. The self-assembly method based on the jt-jt interactions was used to modify the CNTs, subsequendy deposited on gold interdigitated electrodes by drop-dry technique (Fig. 8a). 

Adsorption (drop dry or casting) is a non-covalent method of electrode modification, where simple intermolecular forces such as electrostatic attraction and k-k interactions are used to hold a thin layer of modifying species on a surface. This technique is a particularly useful for modifying carbon surfaces through the use of n-n interactions with carbon nanombes (CNTs) and MPcs, which are electron rich. Adsorption of SWCNT onto GCE is shown in Fig. 2c. This was then followed by grafting and chcking as discussed above.
