Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of dispersions using “flow focusing” in microchannels
TL;DR: In this paper, a flow-focusing geometry is integrated into a microfluidic device and used to study drop formation in liquid-liquid systems, where both monodisperse and polydisperse emulsions can be produced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometrically Mediated Breakup of Drops in Microfluidic Devices
TL;DR: Two methods for passively breaking larger drops into precisely controlled daughter drops using pressure-driven flow in simple microfluidic configurations using a T junction and flow past isolated obstacles are demonstrated.
Geometrically mediated breakup of drops in microfluidic devices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate two methods for passively breaking larger drops into precisely controlled daughter drops using pressure-driven flow in simple microfluidic configurations: (i) a T junction and (ii) flow past isolated obstacles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfluidic methods for generating continuous droplet streams
TL;DR: In this article, a review of microfluidic methods for synthesizing uniform streams of droplets and bubbles, focusing on those that utilize pressure-driven flows, is presented, and the results in the context of physical mechanisms for droplet breakup and simple theoretical models that have been proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elasto-capillary thinning and breakup of model elastic liquids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the dependence of the transient diameter profile and the time to breakup on the molecular weight, and compared the observations with simple theories for breakup of slender viscoelastic filaments.
