界面张力诱导下的微结构内液滴生成和流动控制研究

The droplet-based microfluidic technique has attracted widespread interest, attributed to the advantages such as a small volume of reagents consumed, the fast reaction and the independent control of each droplet, whose capabilities are subjected to the liquid flow rate. Highlighting the dominance of the interfacial tension on droplet flow characteristics, which can reduce effects of the flow rate and finally expand the suitable driving methods of the microdroplet techniques. Based on the interfacial tension induced microfluidics, this project will systematically study the surface evolution and flow characteristics, which result from the Laplace pressure jump of the confined droplet incorporated by the geometry, during the droplet generation and flow controls including the path selection, droplet trapping and on-demand releasing. The relation of flow rates and droplet sizes will be investigated to achieve a weakly dependent droplet emerging geometry. In parallel, the performance of the multi-branch channel will be documented, which originate from the Laplace pressure jump. To expand the suitable flow condition of the microdroplet techniques, a microfluidic system with modules of the droplet generation, trapping and releasing will be studied, which can stably work under various driving approaches. Results of this project will enrich the researches induced by the interfacial tension and offer a deeper understanding of the dependence of the surface applied forces and the droplet behaviors.
