High-Throughput Step Emulsification for the Production of Functional Materials Using a Glass Microfluidic Device
High-volume production of monodisperse droplets is of importance for industrial applications due to increased emulsion stability, precise control over droplet volumes, and the formation of periodic arranged structures. So far, parallelized microfluidic devices are limited by either their complicated channel geometry or by their chemically or thermally unstable embedding material. This study sho...
متن کاملTandem emulsification for high-throughput production of double emulsions.
Core-shell double emulsions produced using microfluidic methods with controlled structural parameters exhibit great potential in a wide range of applications, but the low production rate of microfluidic methods hinders the exploitation of the capabilities of microfluidics to produce double emulsions with well-defined features. A major obstacle towards the scaled-up production of core-shell doub...
متن کاملSnap-off production of monodisperse droplets.
We introduce a novel technique to produce monodisperse droplets through the snap-off mechanism. The methodology is simple, versatile, and requires no specialized or expensive components. The droplets produced have polydispersity < 1% and can be as small as 2.5 μm radius. A convenient feature is that the droplet size is constant over a 100-fold change in flow rate, while at higher flows the drop...
متن کاملDroplets as microreactors for high-throughput biology.
Inspired by the principles of biological evolution, biologists--and others--have in recent decades harnessed the power of "natural" selection to sift through huge libraries of genes and find those with desirable properties. At the same time, the demand for high-throughput biochemical and genetic assays and screens has driven the development of increasingly miniaturised assay systems. An excitin...
متن کاملRotational Diffusion of Monodisperse Liquid Crystal Droplets
many isotropic oils, this liquid crystal is not soluble in water. We therefore We have prepared monodisperse suspensions of nematic liquid use an ionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), to stabilize the crystal droplets in water. The droplets are stabilized by polyvinyl droplets. This allows us to use standard fractionated crystallization methods alcohol, a polymer that induces planar a...
