摘要

We report the formation of micrometer-diameter water droplets, in a continuous oil phase, where each droplet encapsulates a discrete number of gas bubbles. The approach combines two different microfluidic geometries: flow-focusing and a T-junction (Fig. 1). In particular, monodisperse microbubbles were first generated in a continuous water phase using a flow-focusing geometry, after which the gas-water system was dispersed into a continuous oil phase either by a flow-focusing or a T-junction element so as to obtain water drops that contain individual gas bubbles. The generation of water-encapsulated microbubbles in both geometries is dependent on the flow rates of the two liquids, and it is less sensitive to the gas pressure in the double flow-focusing geometry (DFF; Fig. 1c and d) than in the geometry with flow-focusing followed by a T-junction (FFT; Fig. la and b). Moreover, the DFF was able to form a relatively thin water layer encapsulating individual microbubbles while the FFT, on the other hand, had the advantage of controlling of the number of bubbles per water droplet. We illustrated this characteristic feature of FFT using an aqueous photopolymer-izable acrylamide solution and fabricated monodisperse porous polyacrylamide particles with relatively low elastic moduli compared with solid polyacrylamide particles. These ideas provide an avenue for systematically controlling gas-liquid microstructures of double-emulsion type and offer a new fabrication method for polymer-covered microbubbles and porous microparticles.
