Growth kinetics of NaCl crystals in a drying drop of gelatin: transition from faceted to dendritic growth

We report a study on the kinetics of drying of a droplet of aqueous gelatin containing sodium chloride. The process of drying recorded as a video clearly shows different regimes of growth leading to a variety of crystalline patterns. Large faceted crystals of ∼mm size form in the early stages of eva...
