Abstract

Droplet interface bilayer (DIB) networks are expected to lead to tissue-like materials that can be designed from single droplets. Although various functions, such as sensors or computing, have been implemented into DIB networks, there remains a challenge in terms of configurability of constituent droplets in three-dimensional (3D). In this paper, we construct 3D DIB networks with defined droplet positions. We prepared 2D droplet arrays in paper-like substrates based on a method that we previously reported. Vertical stacking of the 2D arrays resulted in DIB formation between layers, i.e., a 3D DIB network.
