Creating Isolated Liquid Compartments Using Photopatterned Obstacles in Microfluidics
We propose a method to trap liquid (both oil and water) in a microchannel by sequentially injecting oil and water (or vice versa) over photopatterned obstacles with controlled wetting properties. We present a simple geometrical model to understand the liquid-entrapment process and predict the evolut...
