Abstract:
A design for a piezoelectric on-demand droplet generator
is presented. Its simple construction and ease of
operation distinguish this generator from other
previously reported. The droplet generator has been
successfully used to produce droplets of aqueous
solutions with very high dissolved salt loadings and is
currently used to study droplet import and evaporation
on a heated surface.
