Red Blood Cell Deformation in Flows through a PDMS Hyperbolic Microchannel

Yaginuma T., Oliveira M.S.N., Lima R., Ishikawa T., Yamaguchi T., FEUP - Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, PT

Red blood cells (RBCs) are the major cellular component in blood and are highly deformable in their normal state. RBC deformability is important in the delivery of oxygen to the tissues and plays a major [...]

Physical Properties of Metal Coated Polymer Particles for Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive

Zhang Z.L., He J.Y., Kristiansen H., Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO

Metalized and monodisperse polymer particles with diameter ranging from 0.5 to 30 µm are increasingly used in developing new electrical packaging technology, such as Anisotropic Conductive Adhesives (ACA) in Flat Panel Displays (FPDs). In these [...]

Three-Dimensional Transient Motion of Spherical and Deformable Droplet in L-Shaped Rectangular Microchannel

Kang C.W., Hua J.S., Lou J., Institute of High Performance Computing, SG

Three-dimensional transient motion of spherical and small deformable droplet in an L-shaped rectangular channel is investigated numerically. The methodology employed is front tracking coupled with the parallel adaptive refinement meshing code, referred as PARAMESH. The [...]
