  • DEVICES AND METHODS FOR FORMING DOUBLE EMULSION DROPLET COMPOSITIONS AND POLYMER PARTICLES
    Publication number: 20170058410
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to double emulsion droplet compositions, polymer particles that can be formed from such double emulsion droplet compositions, and to methods and apparatuses for making such compositions and particles. A double emulsion generally describes larger droplets that contain smaller droplets therein. These double emulsion droplet compositions can be used to create a variety of materials including polymer particles and polymeric shells and are further useful for encapsulating a variety of species including catalyst compounds and pharmaceutical agents. The double emulsion droplet compositions disclosed herein are readily formed using planar droplet (“digital”) microfluidic devices without channels, and either air or an immiscible liquid as an ambient medium.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 3, 2016
    Publication date: March 2, 2017
    Applicant: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Robin L. Garrell, Alexander K. Tucker-Schwartz, Heather Shepherd, Debalina Chatterjee
