| Research Abstract |
A technique to control microdroplets in a microchannel network based on the interfacial flow due to interfacial-tension gradient generated by photothermal patterning was investigated. The aim of this study is to suggest a novel 'channel-less' experimental platform of droplet-based microfluidics. Generation of photothermal effect using a reduced-projection exposure system, excitation of local interfacial flow by the patterned light irradiation and transportation of droplet along the light-induced trajectory were confirmed.
