The Physics of Fluids journal selected as Featured publication our latest results in the BuBble Gun project: Cavitation-induced microjets tuned by channels with alternating wettability patterns. This work is the result of the visit of prof. Andrew Dickerson from the University of Tennessee last year in January. In this collaboration, we investigated the microjet generated from channels […]

Impacting paper advancing knowledge on needle free jet injections
Diana’s first publication as first author is out! The title is “Microfluidic jet impact: spreading, splashing, soft substrate deformation and injection” and can be found at the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. This is part of the Bubble-Gun project, a system we are developing for needle-free injections. We present distinct impact behaviours based on […]
Squeezing droplets and shooting jets at them to inject
From the series of squeezing and playing with droplets, and building on the work that we did on microfluidic jets impacting on droplets, Miguel and I decided to confine droplets between two glass walls. This allowed us to visualise and make a deep analaysis of the generated cavity when the injection is made. Furthermore, we could […]
Publication in Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy
How to decide which product or technology is more green than others? Assessing the sustainability level of processes and reactions is still challenging. But, our recent publication can assist those working in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Pharmacy and Process Engineering. On an intensification factor for green chemistry and engineering: The value of an operationally simple decision-making tool […]
