A condition for spontaneous capillary flow in open microgrooves

This work deals with the behavior of liquids in open microfluidic channels. By considering the surface energies, we develop a two-dimensional model which predicts when a liquid will fill a microfluidic channel by capillary forces alone. This model makes it possible to determine the behavior of a liquid using only the cross-sectional geometry and the contact angle.

. Cross-section of a Gaussian microchannel with different liquid levels. The Gibbs energy for each filling level is color-coded.

Embedded Transducers in Polymeric Coatings on Metallic Substrates
. Multilayer pyro- and piezo-electric sensor-stack design. From bottom to top: substrate with organic primer coating, bottom electrode, P(VDF-TrFE) functional layer (turquoise), top electrode, organic topcoat . . Demonstration of the pyro- (top) and piezoelectric (bottom) properties of a P(VDFTrFE)-based prototype. The sensor consists of a primer-coated sheet-steel substrate (which in this case serves as the bottom electrode), a P(VDF-TrFE) functional layer (transparent), and a PEDOT:PSS top electrode (bluish)
