英文摘要 | In this study, a general and facile surfactant-free droplet-based technique is proposed for fabricating polymeric microspheres. First, a polymer is dissolved in a water-immiscible solvent. With a microfluidic system, the polymer solution flow is segmented with a water stream by hydrodynamic focusing to generate droplets, which are subsequently de-solvated in an amphi-solvent-water mixture continuous phase through solvent diffusion. In such a continuous phase, the de-solvation is substantially faster than that in the conventional surfactant solution. As model examples, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(vinyl chloride) microspheres are fabricated from their solutions in ethyl acetate and cyclohexanone, respectively, with ethanol-water mixture as the continuous phase. Fabrication parameters, including the ethanol-to-water ratio of the continuous phase, flow rates, and polymer concentration, are investigated. The microspheres are characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results reveal that the interfacial tension between the polymer solution and continuous phase, flow pattern of water in the continuous phase, and viscosity of the solvent for the polymer solution are principal factors determining the characteristics of the microspheres, including the sphericity, size, and morphology. In addition, at a high ethanol-to-water ratio in the continuous phase, nanoparticles of PMMA are obtained, but they tend to aggregate under the experimental conditions. |
