Abstract
Formation of coffee stain deposits under evaporation of droplets containing aqueous solution of salts placed on silicone-oil impregnated porous substrates was observed. The formation of ring-like deposits was registered for various molar concentrations of salts for the droplets of 5–300 μl in volume. The effect occurred when the contact line was de-pinned, and the evaporation from the edge of a droplet was stopped by the silicone oil. The formation of the coffee stain deposit is related to the soluto-capillary Marangoni flow; the influence of the thermo-capillary flow taking place in parallel is negligible.
