Ordered mesoscale polymer patterns are formed spontaneously by allowing a drop of solutions to evaporate in restricted geometry consisting sphere on flat surface (i.e., bound liquid, see figure). Gradient concentric ring and self-organized punch-hole-like structures obtained via mediating interfacial interactions between the substrate.
