Microfluidic Technique Forms Complex Patterns From Soft Materials
Colloid Chemistry: Simple method controllably produces variety of droplet geometries for future functional materials
By Mitch Jacoby
Forming complex microscopic patterned materials typically requires complex techniques, such as lithography. But researchers in Poland have demonstrated that, if conditions are just right, a simple process can reproducibly yield a variety of intricately arranged, soft, colloidal materials.
The findings may lead to methods for preparing photonic crystals, bio-like membranes, and other three-dimensional functional materials.
