Acoustic manipulation of small droplets.
Surface acoustic waves are used to actuate and process smallest amounts of fluids on the planar surface of a piezoelectric chip. Chemical modification of the chip surface is employed to create virtual wells and tubes to confine the liquids. Lithographically modulated wetting properties of the surface define a fluidic network, in analogy to the wiring of an electronic circuit. Acoustic radiation...
متن کاملSmall droplets on superhydrophobic substrates.
We investigate the wetting behavior of liquid droplets on rough hydrophobic substrates for the case of droplets that are of comparable size to the surface asperities. Using a simple three-dimensional analytical free-energy model, we have shown in a recent letter [M. Gross, F. Varnik, and D. Raabe, EPL 88, 26002 (2009)] that, in addition to the well-known Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel states, there e...
متن کاملTake off of small Leidenfrost droplets.
We put in evidence the unexpected behavior of Leidenfrost droplets at the later stage of their evaporation. We predict and observe that, below a critical size Rl, the droplets spontaneously take off due to the breakdown of the lubrication regime. We establish the theoretical relation between the droplet radius and its elevation. We predict that the vapor layer thickness increases when the dropl...
متن کامل0105 - Cell Deformation within Isolated Chondrons Compressed in Agarose Constructs
Introduction: Chondrocytes within articular cartilage are surrounded by a complex pericellular microenvironment which, together with the cell, is termed the chondron. The mechanical and physicochemical properties of the chondron matrix will undoubtedly influence the metabolism of the chondrocytes and their response to joint loading. The aim of the present study was to examine cell morphology in...
متن کاملSmall GTPase Rab40c Associates with Lipid Droplets and Modulates the Biogenesis of Lipid Droplets
The subcellular location and cell biological function of small GTPase Rab40c in mammalian cells have not been investigated in detail. In this study, we demonstrated that the exogenously expressed GFP-Rab40c associates with lipid droplets marked by neutral lipid specific dye Oil red or Nile red, but not with the Golgi or endosomal markers. Further examination demonstrated that Rab40c is also ass...
