Controlling drop size and polydispersity using chemically patterned surfaces.

We explore numerically the feasibility of using chemical patterning to control the size and polydispersity of micrometer-scale drops. The simulations suggest that it is possible to sort drops by size or wetting properties by using an array of hydrophilic stripes of different widths. We also demonstr...
