Convective meniscus splitting of polysaccharide microparticles on various surfaces

Abstract In contrast to convective self-assembly methods for colloidal crystals etc., “convective meniscus splitting method” was developed to fabricate three-dimensionally ordered polymeric structures. By controlling the geometry of evaporative interface of polymer solution, a deposited membrane wit...
