Functional shape-controlled particles from monodisperse multiple emulsions

我们研究了利用微流控芯片上的微通道来制造形状可控的非球形颗粒。我们将可固化和不可固化的液体注入微通道中，以产生尺寸均匀的多层乳液液滴。通过后续聚合，我们可以制备流体模板辅助的非球形聚合物颗粒。还可以证明含有纳米或微米尺寸颗粒的功能聚合物颗粒的制造以及在平行通道中的按比例放大的生产。

We studied the fabrication of shape-controlled non-spherical particles using microfluidic channels on a chip. We infused curable and non-curable liquids into the microchannels to generate uniformly-sized multi-layered emulsion droplets. Via subsequent polymerization we could prepare fluid-template-aided non-spherical polymer particles. Fabrication of functional polymer particles containing nano- or micrometer-sized particles and scaled-up production in parallelized channels could be also demonstrated.
