Suppressing the coffee-ring effect of colloidal droplets by dispersed cellulose nanofibers
We report that the addition of a small amount of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) into an aqueous dispersion of colloidal particles suppresses the coffee-ring effect when the dispersion dries on a solid substrate, as revealed by the computational analysis of experimental time-series images and by particl...
