"Development and Study of Chemopropelled Cargo-Carrying Vehicles in Flu" by Sara Zarghami
Abstract Developing droplet systems capable of controlled movement has attracted a lot of attention because of their applications in different areas such as bioassays and high-throughput synthesis. Droplet movement has been achieved utilizing chemical, thermal or optical stimuli, with chemical stimulus (to develop a chemotactic system) and light stimulus (to develop a phototactic system) two of the most common. In such systems, the movement of droplets is based on generating tension gradients at the droplet interface resulting in a Marangoni flow in the direction of the gradient and droplet m...
