(1 of 7)Droplet manipulation on a surface is a crucial phenomenon in a broad spectrum of disciplines from energy and water systems, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] chemical microreactors, [11,12] droplet-based microfluidics [13][14][15][16] to biosciences. [17][18][19] In these embodiments, droplet manipulation is required for transporting, guiding, removing, splitting, merging, or trapping of droplets for intended physical and chemical interactions. A variety of approaches have been developed for controlled droplet manipulation including surface
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
