Microfluidic technology provides a unique environment for the investigation of crystallization
processes at the nano or meso scale. The convenient operation and precise control of …

Segmented flow microfluidic devices offer an attractive means of studying crystallization
processes. However, while they are widely employed for protein crystallization, there are few …

During produced water treatment, one of the key underlying phenomena affecting
separation performance is coalescence between oil droplets. These processes can be …

Emulsion—a liquid dispersed in another liquid—is in many respects very similar to granular
matter. In the early 2000s a new technology—droplet microfluidics—began emerging from …

Oil-in-water emulsion droplets, containing an elastic endoskeleton that holds the droplets in
various non-spherical shapes, are formed by crystallizing a portion of the oil phase into a …

Measurement of ice nucleation (IN) temperature of liquid solutions at sub-ambient
temperatures has applications in atmospheric, water quality, food storage, protein …

The stable configurations formed by two poroelastic, ellipsoid-shaped droplets during their
arrested coalescence have been investigated using micromanipulation experiments …

Endoskeletal droplets—non-spherical emulsion droplets that respond to external stimuli with
shape change—are modified with ferromagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles to make them …

Applying an unsteady magnetic field to a 2D nonvibrating magnetic granular system induces
a random motion in the steel beads with characteristics analogous to that of molecules in a …

Hypothesis A micron-scale oil-in-water emulsion droplet frozen in the presence of
surfactants can be induced to eject the crystallizing solid from its liquid precursor. This …
