Sequential storage and release of microdroplets [PDF]
Microsystems & Nanoengineering, 2021 Abstract Droplet microfluidic methods have opened up the possibility of studying a plethora of phenomena ranging from biological to physical or chemical processes at ultra low volumes and high throughput. A key component of such approaches is the ability to trap droplets for observation, and many device architectures for achieving ...

Confined Silver Nanoparticles in Ionic Liquid Films
Molecules, 2023 This work reports the formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by sputter deposition in thin films of three different ionic liquids (ILs) with the same anion (bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) and cation (imidazolium), but with different alkyl chain ...

Surface Nanobubbles Nucleate Microdroplets [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 When a hydrophobic solid is in contact with water, surface nanobubbles often form at the interface. They have a lifetime many orders of magnitude longer than expected. Here, we show that they even withstand a temperature increase to temperatures close to the boiling point of bulk water; i.e., they do not nucleate larger bubbles ("superstability").

Biphasic Microdroplet–Microdroplet Extraction for Ultra‐Trace Enriching Analysis
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2022 AbstractEnriching trace targets from trace samples is essential for analytical chemistry. Here, a mini‐pillar platform for biphasic (aqueous and organic) microdroplet–microdroplet extraction for enrichment analysis is demonstrated. Such mini‐pillars with biphasic hydrophobicity can anchor the biphasic microdroplets (organic or aqueous) regardless of ...
