Abstract:The process of convectively self‑assembling particles in films suffers from low reproducibility due to its high dependency on particle concentration, as well as a variety of interactions and physical parameters. Inhomogeneities in flow rates and instabilities at the air‑liquid interface are mostly responsible for reproducibility issues. These problems are aggravated by adding multiple components to the dispersion, such as binary solvent mixtures or surfactant/polymer additives, both common approaches to contro… Show more
