Abstract

Attempts at depositing uniform films of nanoparticles by drop-drying have been frustrated by the “coffee-stain” effect due to convective macroscopic flow into the contact line. Here, we show that uniform deposition of nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions can be attained easily by drying the droplet...
