title = "Impact of viscosity ratio on the dynamics of droplet breakup in a microfluidic flow focusing device",
abstract = "The flow focusing geometry is one of several used in microfluidic devices to form monodisperse emulsion droplets. The addition of surfactant leads to the observation of a thread formation regime which has features similar to tip-streaming seen in deformed droplets. This thread formation regime has the potential to decouple the droplet size from the device lengthscales and provides a mechanism to form sub-micron droplets. Here, we present results demonstrating the impact of viscosity ratio on the phenomenon.",
