Capillary Force in the Particle-Particle-Substrate System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The prediction and the control of the magnitude of the capillary force are essential for the micromanipulation techniques. It is generally considered that the capillary force is an effective and reliable scheme for micromanipulation. In this paper, a very complicated calculation process for the theoretical capillary force is reviewed, and a practical approximate formula for the calculation of the total capillary force in the particle-particle-substrate system is proposed. Comparison is made between the approximation and theoretical results and good agreement is found. It is suggesting that the approximate formula can be applicable for the evaluation of the capillary force in the micromanipulation.
