AI Article Synopsis
- A simple one-step microfluidic method is used to synthesize three-dimensional anisotropic microparticles with varying magnetic properties.
- This process takes advantage of uneven UV light exposure, the UV absorption by opaque nanoparticles, and specific photomask patterns to create these microparticles within a two-dimensional microchannel.
- Numerical simulations help predict the shapes of the produced particles by modeling how the monomer converts during the synthesis process.
Article Abstract
Synthesis of three-dimensional anisotropic microparticles using a simple one-step microfluidic-based method is described. The method exploits the nonuniformity of the polymerizing UV light, UV absorption by opaque nanoparticles in the precursor solution, and discontinuous photomask patterns to make magnetic and non-magnetic microparticles in a twodimensional microchannel. Numerical simulations of monomer conversion in the microfluidic channel are performed to predict the manufactured particle shape.
