Novel technologies for the formation of 2-D and 3-D droplet interface bilayer networks.

Automatic Discovery of Technology Networks for Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects via Data Mining

Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects depend on many sub-technologies which need to be understood and have their risks analysed before the project can begin for their success. When planning such an industrial-scale project, the list of technologies and the associations of these technologies with each other is often complex and form a network. Discovery of this network of technologies is time consumi...

Formation interface detection using Gamma Ray log: A novel approach

There are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. In this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using GR logs. Second approximation level (a2) of GR log gained...

Electro-Coalescence of an Aqueous Droplet at an Oil–Water Interface with an Investigation of Secondary Droplets Formation

A Droplet Trapping Microfluidic Device for the Study of Mass-transport across Droplet Interface Bilayers

In this study, a novel effective droplet microfluidic platform for the generation, guiding and storage of different sized droplet interface bilayers is reported. A microfluidic platform is designed which allows the generation and packing of picoliter lipid coated aqueous droplets. Generated droplets are generated flattened by hydrodynamic focusing and sorted according to their size using surfac...

A microfluidic platform for size-dependent generation of droplet interface bilayer networks on rails.

Droplet interface bilayer (DIB) networks are emerging as a cornerstone technology for the bottom up construction of cell-like and tissue-like structures and bio-devices. They are an exciting and versatile model-membrane platform, seeing increasing use in the disciplines of synthetic biology, chemical biology, and membrane biophysics. DIBs are formed when lipid-coated water-in-oil droplets are b...
