Extracting the hydrodynamic resistance of droplets from their behavior in microchannel networks

Vincent Labrot, Michael Schindler, Pierre Guillot +2

The overall traffic of droplets in a network of microfluidic channels is strongly influenced by the liquid properties of the moving droplets. In particular, the effective hydrodyna…

Phase Behavior of Polyelectrolyte Block Copolymers in Mixed Solvents

Galder Cristobal, Jean-Francois Berret, Cedrick Chevallier +3

We have studied the phase behavior of the poly(n-butyl acrylate)-b-poly(acrylic acid) block copolymer in a mixture of two miscible solvents, water and tetrahydrofuran (THF). The te…

A microfluidic device based on droplet storage for screening solubility diagrams

P. Laval, N. Lisai, J. -B. Salmon +1

This work describes a new microfluidic device developed for rapid screening of solubility diagrams. In several parallel channels, hundreds of nanoliter-volume droplets of a given s…

A microfluidic device for investigating crystal nucleation kinetics

Philippe Laval, Jean-Baptiste Salmon, Mathieu Joanicot

We have developed an original setup using microfluidic tools allowing one to produce continuously monodisperse microreactors ( nL), and to control their temperatures a…

Microfluidic Exploration of the Phase Diagram of a Surfactant/Water Binary System

Jacques Leng, Mathieu Joanicot, Armand Ajdari

We investigate the behaviour of a binary surfactant solution (AOT/water) as it is progressively concentrated in microfluidic evaporators. We observe in time a succession of phase t…

Micro-evaporators for kinetic exploration of phase diagrams

Jacques Leng, Barbara Lonetti, Patrick Tabeling +2

We use pervaporation-based microfluidic devices to concentrate species in aqueous solutions with spatial and temporal control of the process. Using experiments and modelling, we qu…
