Droplet uniformity affects sensor sensitivity for weak signals, such as heart rate and pulse rate. Surface acoustic waves at micrometer wavelengths allow precise control of a single droplet, and have the potential to make uniformly discrete liquid metal droplets and distribute them in hydrogels. But the control law of liquid metal droplet size and its spatial configuration by acoustic surface waves is not clear. The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of the acoustic regulation mechanism in the interfacial evolution of fluids with high interfacial tension coefficients, and to investigate the influence of microdroplet generation characteristics (size and spacing) on the conductive and mechanical properties of conductive hydrogels. The results showed that the combined action of acoustic radiation force, shear force and pressure difference force helped to overcome interfacial tension and speed up the interfacial necking process during the filling and squeezing stages. The use of acoustic surface waves serves to diminish the influence of droplet size on the two-phase flow rate. This provides an effective approach for achieving decoupled control of microdroplet size and spacing, alongside the formation of a homogenous array of liquid metal droplets. The acoustic surface wave effect makes the liquid metal microdroplets more uniform in size and spacing. As the liquid metal content relative to the hydrogel substrate solution increases, the liquid metal size decreases. The hydrogel's initial conductivity and conductivity after self-healing increase by 10% and 25%, respectively, which can realize the effective monitoring of ECG and EMG signals. This study helps to reveal the evolution mechanism of liquid-metal interfaces induced by acoustic surface waves, elucidate the effects of microdroplet size and spacing on the conductive and mechanical properties of hydrogels, and provide theoretical guidance for the high-precision preparation of wearable electronic devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":85,"journal":{"name":"Lab on a Chip","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143497577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, no well-characterized electrophysiological platform for on-line analysis with unrivalled temporal resolution has been reported. Extracellular electrophysiology monitors two crucial parameters, islet β-cell activity and β-to-β-cell coupling, does not require chemical or genetic probes with inherent potential bias, is non-invasive and permits repetitive long-term monitoring. We have now developed and characterized a microfluidic islets-on-chip for combined electrophysiology (on-line) and hormone monitoring (off-line) with two chambers for concomitant monitoring. Fabrication of the device, based on commercial or easily manufacturable components, is within the reach of non-specialized laboratories. The chip permits convenient loading as well as long-term culture with comparable glucose kinetics and low shear stress in both chambers. An optimized flow rate did not alter islet β-cell electrical activity or coupling in response to glucose. Culturing for up to 8 days did not change islet survival as well as glucose-induced electrical or secretory kinetics of islet β-cells. The addition of a physiological amino acid mix, in the presence of elevated glucose, made a considerable change in the functional organisation of islet β-cell activity in terms of frequency and coupling, which explains the ensuing strong increase in insulin secretion. This device thus allows reliable long-term multiparametric on-line monitoring in two islet populations.
