A Dewetting Model for Double-Emulsion Droplets
The evolution of double-emulsion droplets is of great importance for the application of microdroplets and microparticles. We study the driving force of the dewetting process, the equilibrium configuration and the dewetting time of double-emulsion droplets. Through energy analysis, we find that the equilibrium configuration of a partial engulfed droplet depends on a dimensionless interfacial ten...
متن کاملDecompressing emulsion droplets favors coalescence.
The destabilization process of an emulsion under flow is investigated in a microfluidic device. The experimental approach enables us to generate a periodic train of droplet pairs, and thus to isolate and analyze the basic step of the destabilization, namely, the coalescence of two droplets which collide. We demonstrate a counterintuitive phenomenon: coalescence occurs during the separation phas...
متن کاملMiniaturising the laboratory in emulsion droplets.
Biochemical and genetic assays can be both miniaturized and parallelized by compartmentalization in living cells. In vitro compartmentalization (IVC) offers an alternative strategy based on partitioning reactions in water droplets dispersed to form microscopic compartments in water-in-oil emulsions. The cell-like volumes of these compartments (as low as one femtolitre), the ability to freely de...
متن کاملBslA-stabilized emulsion droplets with designed microstructure
Emulsions are a central component of many modern formulations in food, pharmaceuticals, agrichemicals and personal care products. The droplets in these formulations are limited to being spherical as a consequence of the interfacial tension between the dispersed phase and continuous phase. The ability to control emulsion droplet morphology and stabilize non-spherical droplets would enable the mo...
متن کاملDouble Emulsion Droplets as Microreactors for Synthesis of Mesoporous Hydroxyapatite
We introduce a novel approach for synthesizing mesoporous hydroxyapatite (HAp, (Ca)10, (PO4)6(OH)2) using double emulsion droplets as microreactors. By using capillary microfluidic techniques, the size and the geometry of the droplet microreactors can be tuned easily. Double emulsion droplets offer the combined advantages of both shielding the reactants and on-demand addition of reactants; this...
