Thermocapillary flow‐induced core release from double‐emulsion droplets in microchannels

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
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.

Cross-stream migration of a surfactant-laden deformable droplet in a Poiseuille flow

open access: yes, 2017
The motion of a viscous deformable droplet suspended in an unbounded Poiseuille flow in the presence of bulk-insoluble surfactants is studied analytically.

Microdroplet impact at very high velocity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 1982
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

open access: yes, 2009
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

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
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

Jumping droplets

open access: yesDroplet
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

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
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
