Designing single-layer PDMS devices for micron to millimeter-scale deformations
Leon V. Gebhard, Alexandre S. Avaro, Gabriel Amselem +1
The elasticity of PDMS has played a central role in advancing important microfluidic technologies, ranging from early valves to sophisticated organ-on-a-chip systems. However, most…

Deformation and organization of droplet-encapsulated soft beads
Shunsuke Saita, Finn Bastian Molzahn, Clara Delahousse +2
Many biological, culinary, and engineering processes lead to the co-encapsulation of several soft particles within a liquid interface. In these situations the particles are bound t…

Motion and hydrodynamic resistance of an elastic bead confined in a square microchannel
Charles Paul Moore, Hiba Belkadi, Brouna Safi +2
Cells and other soft particles are often forced to flow in confined geometries in both laboratory and natural environments, where the elastic deformation induces an additional drag…
