Harnessing liquid-in-liquid printing and micropatterned substrates to fabricate 3-dimensional all-liquid fluidic devices

Non-equilibrium systems of immiscible liquids have significant potential to advance different technologies, but control over morphology or functionality remains unexplored. Here, the authors demonstrate an all-liquid fluidic device by exploiting surfactant assemblies to produce a semi-permeable memb...

Description
Summary:Non-equilibrium systems of immiscible liquids have significant potential to advance different technologies, but control over morphology or functionality remains unexplored. Here, the authors demonstrate an all-liquid fluidic device by exploiting surfactant assemblies to produce a semi-permeable membrane between the liquids.
