Abstract
We demonstrate passive capillary patterning of channel walls with a liquid in situ. Patterning is performed using a novel 3D capillary valve system combining three standard capillary stop valves. A range of different patterns is demonstrated in three channel walls. Capillary patterning was designed for precise in situ patterning of phase-change materials (e.g. UV curable hydrogels, gels, resins), but
may find further applications such as local surface functionalization
