Small-scale engineering: A new strategy for the production of monodisperse colloid particles with precise control their size, shape, and composition has been developed. Highly liquid droplets are formed by using a microfluidic device. The shaped in microchannel (spheres, disks, rods; see images) solidified situ either polymerization or thermal setting.

These were used as structural units for...

We used coupling of flow and geometric confinement to assemble emulsion droplets in two-dimensional gliding lattices with a high degree order symmetry. Highly monodisperse discoid circular shapes were generated microfluidic flow-focusing device. Originally, close-packed formed from these droplets. Progressive led the gradual deformation disks: first, they elongated direction parallel then transformed into hexagons. Assembly driven by combination also allowed for formation bimodal size...
