| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We developed a temperature-sensitive microfluidic tensiometer to accurately measure time- dependent dynamic interfacial tension of partially miscible fluids. This microfluidic platform has enabled us to probe various physical and biological processes with high temporal and spatial resolutions. In FY2019, by using this established microfluidic platforms with minor modifications, we are also able to complete 3 related (not listed in the original proposal) projects, which led to a total of 13 publications.
