Microfluidics as an alternative route has recently emerged as one of promising tools to the synthesis of functional materials such as polymeric particles, microfiber, colloidosome, Janus particle, and anisotropical particles because it provides the precise control over particle shape, size, chemical compartmentation, and core/shell structure. Here, I will present our recent progress made in the synthesis of functional materials using microfluidic techniques such as droplet and laminar flow-based method. For example, we can produce a variety of polymeric particles from soft microgels to hard sphere under the combination of polymerization technique. In addition, microfluidic method continuously provides novel hollow microcapsule having core/ shell structure, Janus particles having organic and inorganic part, and microfibers from smooth to Janus topology. In addition, we will present the micromold technique containing confined two microfluids for the synthesis of anisotropical particles. |
