Publication number: 20190344237Abstract: The present invention generally relates to microparticles and, in particular, to systems and methods for encapsulation within microparticles. In one aspect, the present invention is generally directed to microparticles containing entities therein, where the entities contain an agent that can be released from the microparticles, e.g., via diffusion. In some cases, the agent may be released from the microparticles without disruption of the microparticles. The entities may be, for instance, polymeric particles, hydrogel particles, droplets of fluid, etc. The entities may be contained within a fluid that is, in turn, encapsulated within the microparticle. The agent may be released from the entity into the fluid, and then from the fluid through the microparticle. In such fashion, the release of agent from the microparticle may be controlled, e.g., over relatively long time scales.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: November 14, 2019Inventors: John Christopher Wesner, Marco Caggioni, Taotao Zhu, David A. Weitz, Alireza Abbaspourrad, Chang-Hyung Choi

Publication number: 20190321791Abstract: An apparatus for creating an emulsion, including: an inlet chamber; a channel comprising a length L, height H, an inlet and an outlet, and walls having surface energies, the channel inlet adjacent to the inlet chamber. The channel inlet walls have a first surface energy and the outlet walls have a second surface energy substantially different from the first surface energy. An outlet chamber is disposed adjacent to the channel outlet, the outlet chamber height H2 being greater than the channel height H.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2018Publication date: October 24, 2019Applicant: President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: John Christopher Wesner, Marco Caggioni, Hyomin Lee

Publication number: 20170319443Abstract: The present invention generally relates to microfluidic droplets and, in particular, to multiple emulsion microfluidic droplets. In one set of embodiments, multiple emulsion droplets are provided, where an inner shell of the droplet is relatively thin, compared to the outer shell (or other shells) of the droplet. For instance, in one set of embodiments, the inner droplet has an average thickness of less than about 1000 nm. In some cases, the inner shell may be rigidified, e.g., to form a gel or a polymeric layer. This may be useful, for example, for preventing coalescence of fluids within the microfluidic droplet. Other embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to methods of making such droplets, methods of using such droplets, microfluidic devices for making such droplets, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2015Publication date: November 9, 2017Applicants: President and Fellows of Harvard College, The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: David A.
