| Research Abstract |
When a water droplet, which has no net electric charge and passes through an immiscible dielectric liquid, is subjected to an alternating electric field, the droplet shows periodical deformation due to the electrostatic force whose strength varies with time. In this study, a novel technique, using the periodical deformation of an aqueous micro-droplet, to mix some species dissolved in the droplet has been experimentally studied. This study also presents an optical arrangement to observe mixing phenomena inside a droplet.
