Droplet microfluidics generates and manipulates discrete droplets through immiscible
multiphase flows inside microchannels. Due to its remarkable advantages, droplet …

This critical review discusses the current understanding of the formation, transport, and
merging of drops in microfluidics. We focus on the physical ingredients which determine the …

Surfactants–molecules and particles that preferentially adsorb to fluid interfaces–play a
ubiquitous role in the fluids of industry, of nature and of life. Since most surfactants cannot be …

Surfactants are an essential part of the droplet-based microfluidic technology. They are
involved in the stabilization of droplet interfaces, in the biocompatibility of the system and in …

We summarize procedures for producing'nanoemulsions' comprised of nanoscale droplets,
methods for controlling the droplet size distribution and composition, and interesting …

Many globular proteins are good emulsifiers or stabilizers for oil-in-water emulsions. It is
generally recognized in the field that globular proteins tend to undergo a structural unfolding …

Drops of water-in-fluorocarbon emulsions have great potential for compartmentalizing both
in vitro and in vivo biological systems; however, surfactants to stabilize such emulsions are …

Obtaining stable liquid foams is an important issue in view of their numerous applications. In
some of these, the liquid foam in itself is of interest, in others, the liquid foam acts as a …

We produce direct and inverse emulsions stabilized by solid mineral particles. If the total
amount of particles is initially insufficient to fully cover the oil-water interfaces, the emulsion …

Two-phase flow microfluidics is emerging as a popular technology for a wide range of
applications involving high throughput such as encapsulation, chemical synthesis and …
