Unconventional multiple ring structure formation from evaporation-induced self-assembly of polymers

The formation of multiring deposits of poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) from the evaporation of a P2VP-(2,6-lutidine + water) drop on a glass substrate does not conform to the conventional pinning–depinning mechanism. Instead, ringlike deposits are formed when the droplet undergoes several cycles of spr...
