Description
本発明は全体としてフローフォーカシング型の技術に関し、またミクロ流体素子にも関する。より詳しくは、本発明は分散媒中の分散相、ならびに多相流体システム中の分散相のサイズおよびサイズ分布を制御するように構成されたミクロ流体システムに関する。
流体送達、製品製造、分析などを目的とする所望の構成の流体流、不連続な流体流、粒子、分散などを製造する流体の取扱いは比較的よく研究された技術である。たとえば、直径100ミクロン未満の高度に単分散されている気泡はキャピラリーフローフォーカシングと呼ばれる技法を用いて製造されている。この技法では毛管を小さなオリフィスの上に配置して、毛管から液体浴中に気体を吹き込む。このオリフィスを通る外部の液体の縮流によって気体は細いジェットにフォーカシングされ、次いで、このジェットは毛管不安定性によって等しい大きさの泡に分解する。関連する技法では類似の構成を用いて空気中に小液滴を製造している。
不連続な流体、エーロゾルなどの製造は知られているが、ミクロ流体装置システム中の不連続な流体の製造、すなわち液−液および気−液分散およびエマルジョンの製造についてはほとんど知られていない。これはミクロ流体装置システム中の流体流の精密な制御が極めて困難であるという事実によると考えられる。
