Outline of Final Research Achievements

A new method for preparation of monodisperse ceramic hollow particles through microfluidic devices was examined. Firstly, monodisperse aqueous droplets containing bubbles were prepared in the device. Then, we found that the monodisperse ceramic hollow particles could be formed by drying and sintering the droplets under the optimized conditions.
