From Coffee Rings to Self-Driven Assembly: Active Matter Enabled Design of Drying Droplets
Meneka Banik, Ranjini Bandyopadhyay
Evaporating colloidal droplets have long been used as model systems to understand capillarity, interfacial transport, and particle assembly, most prominently through the coffee rin…

Elasticity-mediated Morphogenesis in Interfacial Colloidal Assemblies
Vaibhav Raj Singh Parmar, Sayantan Chanda, Rituparno Mandal +1
We study the self-assembly of colloidal microgel particles at a quasi-two-dimensional air-water interface of a drying droplet. Using bright-field microscopy, we demonstrate that in…
