Evaporation of sessile droplets containing non-volatile solutes dispersed in a volatile solvent
leaves behind ring-like solid stains. As the volatile species evaporates, pinning of the …

Inkjet printing has been widely used in functional material patterning for fabrication of
optical/electrical devices. The depositing morphologies of inkjet droplets are critical to the …

The mechanism of droplet drying is a widely concerned fundamental issue since controlling
the deposition morphology of droplet has significant influence on printing, biology pattern …

We study the effect of surfactants on the deposits formed after the evaporation of colloidal
suspension drops, at initial concentrations lower than the critical micellar concentrations, for …

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201505617 nonvolatile solutes normally leaves a ring of solute
deposited on the surface instead of a uniform distribution and it is the well-known coffee-ring …

The effect of tannic acid (TA) and water-soluble cellulose derivatives on the properties of
Pickering emulsions stabilized by cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) was investigated. The …

The drying of a drop of blood or plasma on a solid substrate leads to the formation of
interesting and complex patterns. Inter-and intra-cellular and macromolecular interactions in …

Collecting highly diluted target analytes into specific hot spot regions is vital for ultrasensitive
surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications. In this work, a hydrophobic …

After spilling coffee, a tell-tale stain is left by the drying droplet. This universal phenomenon,
known as the coffee ring effect, is observed independent of the dispersed material. However …

Non-contact ink writing techniques are a newly developed three-dimensional printing
technology to fabricate customized and flexible electronic devices, while dramatically …
