High-throughput formation and control of monodisperse liquid crystals droplets driven by an alternating current electric field in a microfluidic device

M. Belloul, J.-F. Bartolo, and B. Ziraoui et al.

We investigate the effect of an applied ac high voltage on a confined stable nematic liquid crystal (LC) in a microfluidic device and show that this actuation leads to the formation of highly monodisperse microdroplets with an unexpected constant mean size over a large interval of the forcing freq ...
