Two-component Marangoni-contracted droplets: friction and shape
Adrien Benusiglio, Nate Cira, Manu Prakash
When a mixture of propylene glycol and water is deposited on a clean glass slide, it forms a droplet of a given apparent contact angle rather than spreading as one would expect on…
Two-component self-contracted droplets: long-range attraction and confinement effects
Adrien Benusiglio, Nate Cira, Anna Wei Lai +1
Marangoni self-contracted droplets are formed by a mixture of two liquids, one of larger surface tension and larger evaporation rate than the other. Due to evaporation, the droplet…
Synchronous magnetic control of water droplets in bulk ferrofluid
Georgios Katsikis, Alexandre Breant, Anatoly Rinberg +1
We present a microfluidic platform for two-dimensional manipulation of water droplets immersed in bulk oil-based ferrofluid. Although non-magnetic, the droplets are exclusively con…
Generation of droplet arrays with rational number spacing patterns driven by a periodic energy landscape
Anatoly Rinberg, Georgios Katsikis, Manu Prakash
The generation of droplets at low Reynolds numbers is driven by non-linear dynamics that give rise to complex patterns concerning both the droplet-to-droplet spacing and the indivi…
