Submicron droplets are ubiquitous in nature and widely applied in fields such as biomedical
diagnosis and therapy, oil recovery and energy conversion, among others. The submicron …

During foaming, bubbles are formed at (sub) millisecond time scales, and emulsifier
adsorption determines bubble formation and stabilisation against coalescence. Here we …

Hypothesis Dynamic adsorption effects can play a crucial role in bubble formation and
stabilization. We hypothesize that microfluidic tools provide direct insights to these effects …

Hypothesis The interplay of interface evolution and surfactant adsorption determines the
formation and stabilization of bubbles, and can be controlled by the liquid phase properties …

Step emulsification (SE) devices coupled with parallel generation nozzles are widely used in
the production of large-scale monodisperse droplets, especially for droplet-based digital …

Snap-off usually occurs during two-phase fluid displacement in a constricted capillary,
where the nonwetting phase fluid is cut into blobs or ganglia due to surface tension. Snap-off …

Studies show that centrifugal step emulsification is an effective method for high throughput
droplet generation and has been widely used over the past ten years. However, there is no …

Due to its significance in oil recovery and droplet microfluidics, breakup of spherical droplets
in a constriction (ie, snap-off) is extensively studied. However, rectangular channels with …

Microdroplets play a crucial role in various applications based on microfluidics, including
biomedicine, materials synthesis, and analytical chemistry. However, there is still an urgent …

In microfluidic step emulsification, the size of droplets generated in the dripping regime is
predominantly determined by the nozzle's height and only weakly depends on the applied …
