Precise, tunable emulsions and foams produced in microfluidic geometries have found wide
application in biochemical analysis and materials synthesis and characterization. Superb …

The coalescence phenomenon of drops in liquid/liquid systems is reviewed with particular
focus on its technical relevance and application. Due to the complexity of coalescence, a …

Fluid–fluid interfaces stabilized by proteins, protein aggregates, polymers, or colloidal
particles, tend to have a complex microstructure. Their response to an applied deformation is …

The Marangoni effect refers to fluid flow induced by a gradient in surface tension at a fluid-
fluid interface. We determine the full three-dimensional Marangoni flow generated by a non …

Viscosity is a key property of cell membranes that controls mobility of embedded proteins
and membrane remodeling. Measuring it is challenging because existing approaches …

The behaviour of a single droplet in an immiscible external fluid, submitted to shear flow is
investigated using numerical simulations. The surface of the droplet is modelled by a …

Surface tension gradients are at the origin of the self-motion and deformation of millimeter-
sized floating objects. For (quasi-) non-deformable systems, like solids and gels, the motion …

Emulsion droplet formation occurs in milliseconds to seconds when emulsifier adsorption is
often not yet completed, therewith allowing coalescence to take place. Because of these …

We investigate the motion of a sedimenting drop in the presence of an electric field in an
arbitrary direction, otherwise uniform, in the limit of small interface deformation and low …

Contrary to the notion that 'oil and water do not mix', many oils possess a residual diffusive
mobility through water, causing the drop sizes in oil-in-water emulsions to slowly evolve with …
