Pressure-Driven Filling of Closed-End Microchannel: Realization of Comb-Shaped Transducers for Acoustofluidics [PDF]
We demonstrate the complete filling of both deionized water (DI water) and liquid metal (eutectic gallium-indium, EGaIn) into closed-end microchannels driven by a constant pressure at the inlet.

Predicting Dimensions in Microfluidic Paper Based Analytical Devices [PDF]
The main problem for the expansion of the use of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices and, thus, their mass production is their inherent lack of fluid flow control due to its uncontrolled fabrication protocols. To address this issue, the first step is the generation of uniform and reliable microfluidic channels.
