本實驗主要利用微機電製程技術來製作微流道裝置，並以該元件
配合流體的操控，改變不同的流體速度及流體性質來進行測試，利用
兩不相溶流體界面間的凱爾文-荷姆霍茲不穩定性，成功地產生了直
徑大小在奈米等級的液珠。
為了瞭解奈米液珠產生的機制，本實驗利用固化液膜之技術，將
凱爾文-荷姆霍茲不穩定性的動態過程固化，固化液膜的樣貌證實了
連續相流體和分散相流體界面間凱爾文-荷姆霍茲不穩定性的確存在，且因此導致液膜最終破碎而形成奈米液珠。
定量分析不同流率下所產生的液珠尺寸，發現不同流體速度產生
的平均液珠尺寸差異不大，且液珠尺寸分布的峰值相同，這是因為在
奈米尺度下，表面張力效應才是影響液珠尺寸的主要因素，而在利用
添加不同比例界面活性劑以改變兩相流體的界面張力值的實驗中，
也證實了此一觀點，界面活性劑添加量過少時，兩相流體界面以及所
產生的液珠界面容易不穩定，因此分散相液膜容易破碎形成奈米液
珠，但此等小液珠也容易合併在一起形成較大尺寸的液珠，當界面活
性劑的量到達一定值，兩相流體界面一旦能夠穩定，較大尺寸的液珠
數量將銳減，且此時再加入更多的界面活性劑也對所產生的液珠大小
影響不大。
