Recent advances in multiple emulsions and their application as templates
TLDR
In this paper, a review of recent developments on the preparation of multiple emulsions and their applications as templates for material fabrication is presented, focusing on microfluidic methods for accurate control of size and morphology and on new formulations that go beyond traditional surfactant systems for increased complexity.Abstract:
We review recent developments on the preparation of multiple emulsions and their applications as templates for material fabrication. Emphasis is placed on microfluidic methods for accurate control of size and morphology and on new formulations that go beyond traditional surfactant systems for increased complexity. The straightforward applicability of multiple emulsions in the fabrication of multihollow particles or capsules of various materials is illustrated through representative examples.read more

Microfluidic Production of Multiple Emulsions
TL;DR: A review of microfluidic drop makers is presented in this article, where the productivity of a single drop maker is typically 1 L/h, which requires combining drop makers into 2D and 3D assemblies fed from a single set of inlet ports through a network of distribution and collection channels.
