Active mixing of complex fluids at the microscale
Open accessAbstract
Significance: The ability to continuously mix complex fluids at the microscale depends on their flow rate, rheology, and mixing rate. New scaling relationships between mixer dimensions and operating conditions are derived and experimentally verified to create a framework for designing active microfluidic mixers that can efficiently homogenize a wide range of materials. Based on this understanding, active mixing printheads are designed and implemented for multimaterial printing of 3D architectures whose local composition and properties can be programmably tailored.

“The extent of mixing for Brownian particles is quantified by index «B ≡ 1− cv=cv,max, where cv is the coefficient of variation of the image intensity (cv → 0 with increasing homogenization), which has been previously used in mixing studies in microchannels (10, 13, 31), and cv,max is the maximum coefficient of variati…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
