Droplet Transportation on Liquid-Infused Asymmetrically Structured Surfaces by Mechanical Oscillation and Viscosity Control

Mingsheng Li,

Abstract: The transportation of droplets on solid surfaces has received significant attention owing to its importance in biochemical analysis and microfluidics. In this study, we propose a novel strategy for controlling droplet motion by combining an asymmetric structure and infused lubricating oil on a vibrating substrate. The transportation of droplets with volumes ranging from 10 to 90 μL was realized, and the movement speed could be adjusted from 1.45 to 10.87 mm/s. Typical droplet manipulations, including droplet t… Show more

“…Manipulating droplets on surfaces and interfaces is critical for the efficiency and tunability of water desalination, condensation, liquid transport in microfluidics, and digital bioassays . For example, condensation, a key process in power generation and thermal management, requires fast removal of droplets from the substrates for efficient heat transfer. , Passive methods to transport droplets on surfaces have focused on engineering asymmetric surface structures and gradient chemistry. However, these surfaces typically require complex fabrication and do not offer real-time control capability. Active methods that can dynamically tune droplet motions have been developed using electric, , magnetic, acoustic, chemical, , thermal, , and photothermal , stimuli.…”
