Key Points

Droplet coalescence is significantly influenced by surfactant concentration, affecting film drainage time.
Viscosity ratios impact coalescence behavior, showing a non-linear response in micro-scale systems.
Microfluidic experiments provide crucial insights into droplet interactions under varying surfactant conditions.
Understanding these interactions can enhance the design of systems for applications in emulsions and drug delivery.

Implication

Microfluidic experiments reveal coalescence criteria influenced by surfactant and viscosity, indicating complex behavior.

Abstract

Microfluidic experiments show droplets coalescence criteria with viscosity ratio and surfactant concentration, and non-monotonic film drainage time is observed.
