Directional and gradient patterning from sub‐microliter colloidal droplet evaporation on inclined and stretched soft substrates

Droplet, EarlyView.
Instead of suppressing the ubiquitous “coffee‐ring” effect, we harness it by integrating stretching, inclination, and rotation of soft substrates. This sequential control allows manipulation of global pattern symmetry and local morphology. By incorporating substrate inclination and rotation of stretched soft substrates, we create diverse patterns that ...

Photothermal bubble: Dynamics, manipulation, and applications

Droplet, EarlyView.
As a versatile platform for bubble manipulation, photothermal techniques empower diverse operations: planar translation by scanning the laser spot, sustained periodic bouncing from competing thermal and hydrodynamic flows, and even guided 3D trajectories achieved by tailoring the heating configuration.

Manipulating drying‐induced carbon nanotube assemblies through substrate surface engineering

Droplet, EarlyView.
During the observation of CNT droplet drying on modified substrates with varying surface properties, high‐friction surfaces induced long‐range orientation of CNTs through fixed contact lines and material flow during evaporation. This provides a programmable substrate strategy for assembling ordered nanostructures via controlled droplet drying ...
