Background:

Latex film formation is crucial for coatings and adhesives.
Understanding particle behavior during drying is key to controlling film properties.
Existing models may not fully capture the complex interplay of forces.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and apply a hybrid simulation tool for modeling latex film formation.
To investigate the evolution of particle distribution during the drying process.
To analyze the influence of diffusion, convection, and particle deformation on distribution.

Main Methods:

A hybrid simulation approach combining finite differences and cellular automata.
Object-oriented programming for efficient simulation.
Modeling the exchange of matter between discrete cells in a divided real space.

Main Results:

Particle distribution evolves dynamically through distinct drying stages.
Repulsive particle interactions promote homogeneity initially.
Drying regimes dictate the development of opposing concentration gradients.
Simulation results align qualitatively with experimental observations.

Conclusions:

The developed simulation tool accurately models latex drying.
The study provides insights into particle self-organization during film formation.
The findings can inform the design of improved latex-based materials.
