Abstract:

Droplet-based microfluidics has recently emerged as a new and promising area of science and technology in the last decades. Preparation of functional materials with microfluidics has attracted great interest from scientist and technologists with different backgrounds and occupations. This work will systematically introduce the recent progress in multiphase flow control in droplet-based microfluidics and preparation of smart emulsions and functional materials with microfluidics mainly by the author???s research group. Controlled multiphase flow with different flow patterns by multiphase microfluidics will be introduced. They have been utilized in novel materials preparation of considerable fields such as optics, biomedicine, controlled porous material and drug release.
