Entry effects of droplet in a micro confinement: implications for deformation-based CTC microfiltration
Zhifeng Zhang, Xiaolin Chen, Jie Xu
Deformation based circulating tumor cell (CTC) microchips are a representative diagnostic device for early cancer detection. This type of device usually involves a process of CTC t…
Liquid marbles as thermally robust droplets: coating-assisted Leidenfrost-like effect
Cedric Aberle, Mark Lewis, Gan Yu +2
The Leidenfrost effect-prolonged evaporation of droplets on a superheated surface-happens only when the surface temperature is above a certain transitional value. Here, we show tha…
Freezing of a Liquid Marble
Ali Hashmi, Adam Strauss, Jie Xu
In this study, we present for the first time the observations of a freezing liquid marble. In the experiment, liquid marbles are gently placed on the cold side of a Thermo-Electric…
Control and ultrasonic actuation of a gas-liquid interface in a microfluidic chip
Jie Xu, Daniel Attinger
This article describes the design and manufacturing of a microfluidic chip, allowing for the actuation of a gas-liquid interface and of the neighboring fluid. A first way to contro…
