Dynamics of thermal capillary driven liquid plugs in microchannels

The researches on actuation and manipulation of micro-droplets in microchannels or on solid surfaces have been active in recent years. Based on the thermocapillary effect, thermal driven manipulations and temperature recycling of discrete droplets can be achieved in micro-devices, which can provide...
