Popis: | We describe the formation of hierarchical dual dimple patterns on polymeric sublayers by evaporation-induced interfacial stress. As water vapor condenses on partially miscible volatile sublayers, the resulting unstable wet-on-wet configurations trigger droplet assembly under ordered convection, giving rise to hexagonal traces of surface dimples, which coexist with highly ordered dimple arrays. Monitoring the time-dependent Marangoni numbers proved that the interfacial stress plays a crucial role in the transition between hierarchically and uniformly ordered dimple patterns. |
