Directed droplet motion -- Its versatile nature and anticipated applications
Panagiotis E. Theodorakis, Andrey Milchev
Applications such as digital microfluidics and bio-diagnostics rely on droplet locomotion. A prominent example of such motion is durotaxis, a phenomenon that requires a stiffness g…
Durotaxis and antidurotaxis droplet motion onto gradient gel-substrates
R. Kajouri, P. E. Theodorakis, A. Milchev
The self-sustained motion of fluids on gradient substrates is a spectacular phenomenon, which can be employed and controlled in applications by carefully engineering the substrate…
Antidurotaxis Droplet Motion onto Gradient Brush Substrates
Russell Kajouri, Panagiotis E. Theodorakis, Jan Židek +1
Durotaxis motion is a spectacular phenomenon manifesting itself by the autonomous motion of a nano-object between parts of a substrate with different stiffness. This motion usually…
Capillary filling with wall corrugations] Capillary filling in microchannels with wall corrugations: A comparative study of the Concus-Finn criterion by continuum, kinetic and atomistic approaches
S. Chibbaro, E. Costa, D. Dimitrov +5
We study the impact of wall corrugations in microchannels on the process of capillary filling by means of three broadly used methods - Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Lattice-B…
