Acoustic suppression of the coffee-ring effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We study the influence of acoustic fields on the evaporative self-assembly of solute particles suspended inside sessile droplets of complex fluids. The self-assembly process often results in an undesirable ring-like heterogeneous residue, a phenomenon ...
