Highly sophisticated compound droplets on fiber arrays

The poster shows a drop of oil containing four soapy water droplets of four different colors : red, orange, green and blue. This sophisticated object is created thanks to a fiber array. Fiber networks allow processes such as droplet motion, fragmentation, trapping, releasing, mixing and encapsulation. Therefore, by using a vertical fiber decorated with successive nodes, compound droplets can be created. A soapy water droplet, with a specific color, is placed at each intersection. Then, a silicon oil droplet glides along the vertical fiber, encapsulates and collects the water droplets at each node leading to the formation of a compound droplet with four different components.
