This study carried out interfacial tension (IFT) testing, sand surface element analysis and
scanning electron microscope imaging, rock–oil–emulsification system interaction testing …

Displacement of residual oil droplet in high water-cut oilfields can be optimized through the
understanding of droplet deformation dynamics. The current studies demonstrated that the …

Micromixers are devices that have the task of mixing on a small scale. In this study, to
improve the mixing index in micromixers with minimum pressure drop, the optimal values of …

Fluorescence at the oil–water interface is used for chemical sensing in droplet microfluidics.
Potassium ions in aqueous droplets are extracted into oil segments doped with an …

Particulate embolic agents with calibrated sizes, which employ interventional procedures to
achieve endovascular embolization, have recently attracted tremendous interest in …

Magnetic beads (or particles) having a size between 1 and 5 µm are largely used in many
biochemical assays devoted to both purification and quantification of cells, nucleic acids, or …

Multiphase emulsions, such as drops in a continuous medium, tend to have surfactant-like
impurities present at the interfaces, either naturally or introduced artificially for stability …

In the past 20 years, droplet microfluidics is burgeoning in many chemical and biological
applications due to the unique capability of droplets to act as confined containers …

The addition of surfactants suppresses interfacial deformations, and surface elasticity is
expected to play a critical role. High-speed imaging is used to study the influence of …
