Investigation of viscous effects on droplet generation in a co-flowing step emulsification device

Fabrication of polymeric microspheres for biomedical applications

“…Combining dropletbased microfluidics with droplet-to-particle technology provides a promising method to prepare PMs with narrow size distribution and uniform particle size. Usually, the approaches for making droplets relate to the geometry of the devices, such as commonly used T-junctions, 54 co-flowing 55 and flow-focusing devices. [56][57][58] In this technology, single or multiple emulsions are produced to act as templates for the formation of microspheres, microcapsules and microgels with tunable sizes.…”
