Title: DIY 3D Microparticle Generation from Next Generation Optofluidic Fabrication

Abstract

Abstract Complex‐shaped microparticles can enhance applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and structural materials, although techniques to fabricate these particles remain limited. A microfluidics‐based process called optofluidic fabrication that utilizes inertial flows and ultraviolet polymerization has shown great potential for creating highly 3D‐shaped particles in a high‐throughput manner, but the particle dimensions are mainly at the millimeter scale. Here, a next generation optofluidic fabrication process is presented that utilizes on‐the‐fly fabricated multiscale fluidic channels producing customized sub‐100 µm 3D‐shaped microparticles. This flexible design scheme offers a user‐friendly platform for rapid prototyping of new 3D particle shapes, providing greater potential for creating impactful engineered microparticles.
