Modulation of nanoparticle separation by initial contact angle in coffee ring effect
Abstract The coffee ring effect occurs when a droplet of a suspension evaporates on a substrate; this process can separate suspended nanoparticles (NPs) by size as a result of geometric constraints at the contact line of the evaporating droplet. In the study, we used a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) st...
