Change of the contact angle and volume for hydrophilic (a,c) and hydrophobic (b,d) copper surfaces through evaporation of 3 µl droplets under atmospheric conditions (Atmosphere), with adjacent droplets (Adjacent Droplets) and with wetted lens paper (Lens paper). Each experiment was repeated three times on different samples. Data for normalization is the contact angle/volume five seconds after droplet application. For better data visualization the normalized data for each of the three samples was averaged for every time step. Error bars show the standard deviation.
