| Research Abstract |
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.
