Perturbation-induced droplets for manipulating droplet structure and configuration in microfluidics [PDF]
Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, 2015 In this work, we mechanically perturb a liquid-in-liquid jet to manipulate the size and structure of the droplets formed from break-up of the jet. The induced break-up is relatively insensitive to fluctuations in the surrounding fluid flow. When the amplitude of perturbations is large and the interfacial tension of the liquid–liquid system is low, the ...

Electro-Manipulation of Droplets for Microfluidic Applications [PDF]
, 2016 There is a growing technology-driven interest in using external influences to move or shape small quantities of liquids, a process that is referred to as microfluidic actuation. The use of electrical, rather than mechanical, forces to achieve this actuation is convenient, because the resultant devices contain no moving parts. In this work we consider a
