Transport phenomena of immiscible fluids in microchannels by Yin, Shuai

“…The biggest advantage of the proposed approach is that it removes the necessity of surface treatment for O/W droplet formation in PMDS microchannels, breaking the limits brought by the surface wettability for the first time and rendering itself to be a universal method for O/W droplet active generation with outstanding controllability. Our findings would widen the applications of the PDMS based microchips. …”
