A method for assessing the influence on aggregational properties of biopolymers from the changes to the textures of their films

Desiccation of bioliquids and biopolymer solutions results in the formation of texture on the substrate surface, with the pattern of the texture being determined by the processes of dehydrational self-organization of biomolecules [1]. During the drying of the viscous gel, heterogeneous growth processes (such as diffusion-limited aggregation) occur, which can result in the formation of dendritic patterns on the film surface [2].
