我们提出了一种新的微流控方法来聚结对表面活性剂稳定的水在氟碳油滴。我们实现这一点,通过局部添加的表面活性剂,全氟丁醇,这会导致液滴界面之间的凝聚力,使它们合并的不良溶剂。这种技术的效率与现有技术相当,提供了一种可替代的方法来聚结成对的液滴。
We present a new microfluidic method to coalesce pairs of surfactant-stabilized water-in-fluorocarbon oil droplets. We achieve this through the local addition of a poor solvent for the surfactant, perfluorobutanol, which induces cohesion between droplet interfaces causing them to merge. The efficiency of this technique is comparable to existing techniques providing an alternative method to coalesce pairs of droplets.
