We propose a mechanism of droplet breakup in a symmetric microfluidic T junction driven by
pressure decrement in a narrow gap between the droplet and the channel wall. This …

The ability to merge two droplets is an important component of droplet-based lab-on-a-chip
devices, yet flow-induced coalescence is difficult to achieve due to long film drainage times …

Interfacial tension is an important physical property affecting the droplet formation process in
microfluidic devices. This work presents the variation of dynamic interfacial tension caused …

We review concepts and provide examples for the controlled structuring of biopolymer
particles in hydrodynamic flow fields. The structuring concepts are grouped by the physical …

Biology has always been a heavily technology limited field. Burgeoning fields such as
systems biology require the development and implementation of new technologies, enabling …

This paper demonstrates a proof-of-concept approach for producing genipin-gelatin
microcapsules of precisely controlled and monodisperse size distributions by the …

Droplet based microfluidics are promising new tools for biological and chemical assays. In
this paper, a high throughput and high sensitivity microfluidic droplet platform is described …

This paper presents a droplet-based microfluidic device for concurrent droplet charging and
sorting by electrostatic actuation. Water-in-oil droplets can be charged on generation by …

The effect of an electric field on a periodic array of two-dimensional liquid drops suspended
in simple shear flow is studied numerically. The shear is produced by moving the parallel …

Recently, we reported how viscoelasticity affects drop dynamics in a microchannel flow
using the finite element-front tracking method (FE-FTM). In this work, we investigate drop …
