Fabrication of monodisperse toroidal particles by polymer solidification in microfluidics

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

(Figure Presented) Microdoughnuts: Polymer toroidal particles such as the one shown in the left picture have been prepared by a capillary microfluidic technique. Droplets of polymer solution undergo non-uniform solidification to form the anisotropic polymer particles. By incorporating functional materials inside the polymer network, functional toroidal particles (center and right images) can be tailormade for specific applications such as magnetic actuation. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
