Effects of Contact-Line Pinning on the Adsorption of Nonspherical Colloids at Liquid Interfaces.
The effects of contact-line pinning are well known in macroscopic systems but are only just beginning to be explored at the microscale in colloidal suspensions. We use digital holography to capture the fast three-dimensional dynamics of micrometer-sized ellipsoids breaching an oil-water interface. We find that the particle angle varies approximately linearly with the height, in contrast to resu...
متن کاملOrganization of microscale objects using a microfabricated optical fiber.
We demonstrate the use of a single fiber-optic axicon device for organization of microscopic objects using longitudinal optical binding. Further, by manipulating the shape of the fiber tip, part of the emanating light was made to undergo total internal reflection in the conical tip region, enabling near-field trapping. Near-field trapping resulted in trapping and self-organization of long chain...
متن کاملMicrofabricated passive vapor preconcentrator/injector designed for microscale gas chromatography.
The design, fabrication, and preliminary testing of a micromachined-Si passive vapor preconcentrator/injector (μPPI) are described. Intended for incorporation in a gas chromatographic microsystem (μGC) for analyzing organic vapor mixtures, the μPPI captures vapors from the air at a known rate by means of passive diffusion (i.e., without pumping) and then desorbs the vapor sample thermally by me...
متن کاملCombined microscale mechanical topography and chemical patterns on polymer cell culture substrates.
This paper presents a technique to independently form mechanical topography and surface chemical patterns on polymer cell substrates, and studies the response of osteoblast cells to these surface patterns. The patterns were formed in two separate steps: hot embossing imprint lithography formed the mechanical topography and microcontact printing created the chemical pattern. The resulting substr...
متن کاملMicroscale Temperature Measurements near the Contact Line of an Evaporating Thin Film in a V-Groove
Thin-film evaporation of heptane in a V-groove geometry is experimentally investigated. The groove is made of fused quartz, and electrical heating of a thin layer of titanium coated on the backside of the quartz substrate provides a constant heat flux. The effects of liquid feeding rate on the temperature suppression in the thin-film region and on the meniscus shape are explored. High resolutio...
