Abstract :

Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary science integrating engineering, physics, chemistry, and biotechnology. The application of droplet-based microfluidic technology in polymer science is an emerging research field. We summarize currently developed droplet-based microfluidic technologies of our lab for functional polymers. For example, synthesis of core-shell structure microcapsules with dual pH-responsive drug release function; microfluidic assisted synthesis of silver nanoparticleâ�?�? chitosan composite microparticles for antibacterial applications; synthesis of uniform coreâ�?�?shell gelatinâ�?�?alginate microparticles as intestineâ�?released oral delivery drug carrier; synthesis of uniform poly (d, lâ�?lactide) and poly (d, lâ�?lactideâ�?coâ�?glycolide) microspheres using a microfluidic chip for comparison; and microfluidic one-step synthesis of Fe3O4-chitosan composite particles and their applications, and the others.
