Thermocapillary flow‐induced core release from double‐emulsion droplets in microchannels
The use of double emulsions (DEs), which represent colloidal structures composed of droplets nested within droplets, can provide for unparallel droplet manipulation in droplet‐based microfluidic technology due to their unique core–shell structures.

Microdroplet impact at very high velocity [PDF]
Water microdroplet impact at velocities up to 100 m/s for droplet diameters from 12 to 100 um is studied. This parameter range covers the transition from capillary-limited to viscosity-limited spreading of the impacting droplet.

Target slinging of droplets with a flexible cantilever
Control of the directional bounce of droplets impacting solid surfaces is crucial for many agricultural and industrial applications. However, for the universal impact process of raindrops on plant leaves, little is known about how the highly coupled and ...

Numerical methods and calculations for droplet flow, heating and ignition [PDF]
A numerical method was devised and employed to solve a variety of problems related to liquid droplet combustion. The basic transport equations of mass, momentum and energy were formulated in terms of generalized nonorthogonal coordinates, which allows ...

Dynamics of Vesicle Formation from Lipid Droplet: Mechanism and Controllability
A coarse-grained model developed by Marrink et al. [J. Phys. Chem. B 111, 7812 (2007)] is applied to investigate vesiculation of lipid [dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)] droplets in water.

Reproducible reformation of a bilayer lipid membrane using microair bubbles
Planar bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) are widely used as models for cell membranes in various applications, including drug discovery and biosensors. However, the nanometer‐thick bilayer structure, assembled through hydrophobic interactions of amphiphilic

When microdroplets with quasi‐spherical contact angles coalesce together on a low‐adhesion substrate, the capillary‐inertial expansion of the liquid bridge induces a dramatic out‐of‐plane jumping event due to symmetry breaking. From the onset of merging,

Programmable droplet manipulation enabled by charged‐surface pattern reconfiguration
Programmable droplet manipulation based on external stimulation is in high demand in various modern technologies. Despite notable progress, current manipulation strategies still suffer from a common drawback such as single control means of modulating the
