Smart Surfactants for Droplet Microfluidics

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Each firm or research group that deals with droplet microfluidics must use surfactants. Without them generated droplets merge and collapse. Each nanolitre sized droplet can be used for a multitude of biochemical experiments. Currently on market there are only two fluorinated products that stabilize the droplet interface. Our plan is to create a new family of surfactants that can also perform chemistry on the droplet interface dramatically simplifying microfluidic experiments.
