Macroscopic and microscopic dissipative structural patterns formed in the course of drying a deionized aqueous solution of cationic polyelectrolyte, poly(allylamine hydrochloride) on a cover glass have been observed. Drying times range from 40 min at 45 °C to 450 min at 5 °C, and are insensitive to the polymer concentration. Pattern area shrinks toward the center at the low polymer concentrations, and increases as the concentration increases. A macroscopic broad ring pattern, where the polymer accumulates densely, forms in many cases. Beautiful fractal patterns are observed at the microscopic scale. The fractal dimension increases from 1.2 to 1.6 as polymer concentration increases from 10-6monoM to 10-2monoM. The relative rates between the water flow at the drying front and the convection flow of water accompanying the movement of polymer are important for the macroscopic and microscopic pattern formation.
