We present a comprehensive study of water drops sliding down chemically heterogeneous
surfaces formed by a periodic pattern of alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes …

Droplet-based microfluidics turned out to be an efficient and adjustable platform for digital
analysis, encapsulation of cells, drug formulation, and polymerase chain reaction. Typically …

In this article we numerically investigate the onset of motion of liquid drops in contact with a
plane and homogeneous substrate with contact angle hysteresis. The drops are driven by a …

We report results of a comprehensive study of the wetting properties of sessile drops of
ferrofluid water solutions at various concentrations deposited on flat substrates and …

We perform a joint numerical and experimental study to systematically characterize the
motion of 30 μ l drops of pure water and of ethanol in water solutions, sliding over a periodic …

Pinning and wicking of a liquid meniscus in a square array of pillars is investigated in
numerical energy minimizations and compared to wetting experiments. Our combined study …

We report the results of extensive experimental studies of the sliding of water drops on
chemically heterogeneous surfaces formed by square and triangular hydrophobic domains …

We report a comprehensive study of the division of ferrofluid drops caused by their
interaction with a permanent magnet. As the magnet gradually approaches the sessile drop …

Droplet microfluidics is a powerful technology that finds many applications in chemistry and
biomedicine. Among different configurations, droplets confined in a capillary (or plugs) …

This paper demonstrates that disposable polyester-toner microfluidic devices are suitable to
produce either water-in-oil (W/O) or oil-in-water (O/W) droplets without using any surface …
