  2. 1. Capillarity and wetting of non-Newtonian droplets

    Author : Yuli Wang; Gustav Amberg; Daniel Bonn; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dynamic wetting; contact line; diffusive interface; viscoelasticity; non-Newtonian; microfluidics; droplet impact; droplet spreading; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Capillarity and dynamic wetting of non-Newtonian fluids are important in many natural and industrial processes, examples cover from a daily phenomenon as splashing of a cup of yogurt to advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing. The applicable non-Newtonian fluids are usually viscoelastic compounds of polymers and solvents. READ MORE

  4. 2. Droplet microfluidics for high throughput biological analysis

    Author : Håkan Jönsson; Helene Andersson-Svahn; Andrew Griffiths; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microfluidics; Droplet microfluidics; High throughput biology; Single cell analysis; Hydrodynamic separation; Enzyme amplification; Fluorescence polarization; Microfabrication; Bioengineering; Bioteknik; SRA - Molecular Bioscience; SRA - Molekylär biovetenskap;

    Abstract : Many areas of biological research increasingly perform large-scale analyses.  In genomics the entire gene repertoire of an organism is analyzed.  Proteomics attempts to understand the function and expression patterns of all proteins in a cell or organism. READ MORE

  5. 3. Strength in Numbers – Droplet Microfluidics for Multicellular Ensemble Applications

    Author : Martin Trossbach; Aman Russom; Håkan Jönsson; Nicole Pamme; KTH; []
    Keywords : Droplet Microfluidics; High-Throughput Screening; Microtissues; Microreactors; Cell Factories; Cell Culture; Biomaterials; Spheroids; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : The work presented in this doctoral thesis explores multicellular, biological, and biotechnological applications for microfluidic droplets, making use of a number of unique features of these miniaturized, highly scalable reaction vessels.Droplet microfluidics specializes in pico- to nanoliter sized aqueous droplets in an immiscible oil phase, borrowing techniques from the field of microfluidics, namely fluid actuation, detection systems and electronic peripherals.

  6. 4. Droplet microfluidics for screening and sorting of microbial cell factories

    Author : Sara Björk; Helene Svahn Andersson; Håkan Jönsson; Christoph Merten; KTH; []
    Keywords : Droplet microfluidics; Cell factories; High-throughput screening; Cell culture; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Cell factories are cells that have been engineered to produce a compound of interest, ranging from biopharmaceuticals to biofuels. With advances in metabolic engineering, the number of cell factory variants to evaluate has increased dramatically, necessitating screening methods with increased throughput. READ MORE

  7. 5. Rapid wetting - influence of surface geometry and fluid properties

    Author : Susumu Yada; Fredrik Lundell; Shervin Bagheri; Minh Do-Quang; Gustav Amberg; Jacco Snoeijer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wetting; spreading; surface structures; droplet; contact line; two-phase flow; non-Newtonian flow; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Wetting of a liquid on a solid surface is ubiquitous in everyday life, such as morning dew on a plant leaf and raindrops hitting on a glass window. However, this phenomenon is far away from being completely understood. READ MORE
