Abstract

This paper reports the self-assembling of monodisperse droplets, which are created in the nanochannel-microchannel interface, by the trapped bubble. A steady liquid filament can be formed by a nanochannel, which gives rise to a stable production of monodisperse femotoliter droplets. Bubbles, which were trapped in the fluids by nanostructures, are used as transporting rails for droplet self-assembling. It can be used to adjust the droplet array by controlling the bubble.
