Abstract
Strategies for controlled imbibition utilizing both topographical cues as well as patterned surface chemistries are presented. Triangle-like microstructures were used for directional wetting of liquids into a limited sector of the surface. Chemical patterns on top of a nanopillar geometry allowed the patterning of both water and oil droplets. Applications of controlled imbibition in dried droplet mass spectrometry as well as liquid-liquid extraction are also presented.
