Table 2.
The detailed information for generating the core-shell microcapsules with the PDMS microfluidic device. The table also shows that the PDMS microfluidic device assembled by simple hand-pressing is capable of sustaining the high pressure-driven fluid flows for generating microcapsules for hours without leaking.
Channel | Diameter | Flow rate | Experiment time | Leaking (n = 7) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Core | 250 μm | 300 μL h−1 | 3 h | No |
Shell | 350 μm | 1.4 mL h−1 | 3 h | No |
Oil | 500 μm | 8 mL h−1 | 3 h | No |
Extraction | 900 μm | 8 mL h−1 | 3 h | No |
