Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the drying process of colloidal dispersion in a droplet, a novel technique to suppress the "coffee ring effect," in which suspended particles spontaneously accumulate at the edge of the droplet, by local heating using a laser beam, and to accumulate particles at an arbitrary position. The control of the flow inside the droplet during drying was found to be the key, and a physical model was constructed to elucidate the mechanism.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
液滴の乾燥は,印刷,半導体,DNA/RNA分析やコーティングなど様々な分野で頻繁に見られる現象であり,その制御が強く求められている.本研究の成果は,自発的に形成されるコーヒーリング効果の抑制の中でも,均一集積ではなく,任意位置への能動的な集積を実現するものであり,極微細プリンテッドエレクトロニクスや生化学分析などの応用が期待される.
