The dynamics of the piezo inkjet printhead operation
TL;DR: In this paper, the physics behind the two-way coupling from the electrical to the mechanical domain through the piezoelectric actuator, where an electrical signal is transformed into a mechanical deformation of the printhead structure, is discussed.

Drop formation in a co-flowing ambient fluid
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of flow rates, fluid viscosities and interfacial tension on the droplet size and observed the dynamics of satellite drop generation at a capillary tip in laminar flow.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a comparative study of microfluidic emulsification of liquids with different viscosities were reported. But the results were limited to the dripping and jetting regimes, and it was not possible to provide a unified scaling for the volumes of the droplets.

Monodispersed microfluidic droplet generation by shear focusing microfluidic device
TL;DR: In this paper, a PDMS microfabricated device utilizes the geometry of the channel junctions in addition to the flow rates to control the droplet sizes, resulting in monodispersed submicron droplets with radii as less than 100 nm.
