Abstract
Abstract The coffee‐ring effect can be troublesome or beneficial in many surface coating and patterning technologies, prompting an extensive investigation into understanding its underlying mechanism. Although valuable insights are available on drying of polymer solutions on planar surfaces, such information is lacking for 3D‐patterned substrates. Here, the experimental realization of the coffee‐ring effect of a polymer solution on topographical surfaces is reported. Interestingly, the results indicate that, following the capillary flow, the polymer is divided between multiple contact lines on the 3D features and around the base. Therefore, for a proper spacing between the 3D patterns, it is demonstrated that the polymer deposit can be limited to the 3D structures, leaving the base unoccupied. This superposition property is then exploited to fabricate complex hierarchical materials with selective wrinkling on the 3D features, by simply drying a polymer solution on them and, subsequently crosslinking the polymers using plasma.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
