Dynamics of evaporating, interconnected droplets
Chenyang Ren, Sri Ganesh Subramanian, Shresht Jain +3
We report on the dynamics of a pair of sessile droplets that are connected by a microchannel, yet open to the atmosphere and hence free to evaporate. Our results reveal that fluid…

Droplet-on-demand using a positive pressure pulse
Mathieu Oléron, Gregoire Clement, Samuel Hidalgo Caballero +4
Droplet generation under steady conditions is a common microfluidic method for producing biphasic systems. However, this process works only over a limited range of imposed pressure…

Swelling and evaporation determine surface morphology of grafted hydrogel thin films
Caroline Kopecz-Muller, Clémence Gaunand, Yvette Tran +5
We experimentally study the formation of surface patterns in grafted hydrogel films of nanometer-to-micrometer thicknesses during imbibition-driven swelling followed by evaporation…
