Thermocapillary manipulation of microfluidic droplets: Theory and applications (2008)
Gallaire, François, Baroud, Charles, Delville, Jean-Pierre
It was recently demonstrated by our group that a focused laser beam could be used to produce a net force on a moving microfluidic drop. The aim of the paper is to establish a scaling law for this net...

Contrôle tout-optique du cycle de la vie d'une gouttelette en microcanal (2007)
François Gallaire, Régis Wunenburger, Charles Baroud, Jean-Pierre Delville
La formation et le transport d'une gouttelette dans un microcanal sont généralement imposés par la géométrie figée de ce microcanal. Pour surmonter cette contrainte, nous présentons une...
Thermocapillary valve for droplet production and sorting (2007)
Baroud, Charles, Delville, Jean-Pierre, Gallaire, François, Wunenburger, Régis
Droplets are natural candidates for use as microfluidic reactors, if active control of their formation and transport can be achieved. We show here that localized heating from a laser can block the...
