This work reports the breakup dynamics for slender droplet formation in shear-thinning fluids in flow-focusing devices consisted of respectively 600μm and 400μm square microchannels. Silicon oil droplets are generated in non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids-polyacrylamide (PAAm) aqueous solutions. The thinning of the thread of the dispersed phase during droplet formation can be characterized by a power-law...
Microfluidic is a multidisciplinary field with practical applications to the design of systems, called Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC), where tiny volumes of fluids are circulated through channels with millimeter size and driven into structures where precise chemical/physical processes take place. One subcategory of microfluidic is droplet-based microfluidic, which disperse discrete volumes of fluids into a continuous...
Discrete micro-droplet has the huge advantage in microfluidic applications. More flexible manners to manipulate droplet are desired. In this paper, a platform is constructed for droplet manipulation by directing the motion of water-in-oil droplets passively with micro-pillar array. These pillars are embedded inside a microchannel with very low aspect ratio. The pillars are arranged to set up a barrier...
