Article Synopsis
- A new microfluidic technique has been developed to create stable water-in-water emulsions without stabilizers, overcoming challenges with size and stability control.
- The technique utilizes an acoustically actuated mixer to rapidly homogenize solutions like PEG and Dextran, resulting in uniformly distributed emulsions stabilized in alginate gels.
- The emulsions show high mixing efficiency and biocompatibility, making them suitable for applications in drug delivery, cosmetics, and food.
Ultrasonic atomization of liquids into micrometer-diameter droplets is crucial across multiple fields, ranging from drug delivery, to spectrometry and printing. Controlling the size and uniformity of the generated droplets on-demand is crucial in all these applications. However, existing systems lack the required precision to tune the droplet properties, and the underlying droplet formation mechanism under high-frequency ultrasonic actuation remains poorly understood due to experimental constraints.
