Glass capillary microfluidics for production of monodispersed poly (dl-lactic acid) and polycaprolactone microparticles: experiments and numerical simulations

Hypothesis: Droplet size in microfluidic devices is affected by wettability of the microfluidic channels. Three-dimensional countercurrent flow focusing using assemblies of chemically inert glass capillaries is expected to minimize wetting of the channel walls by the organic solvent. Experiments: Mo...
