Phase separation driven by solvent evaporation of emulsions can be used to create polymeric microcapsules. The combination of emulsion solvent evaporation with ink-jet printing allows the rapid fabrication of polymeric microcapsules at a target locat...

Emulsion solvent evaporation is a well-established method for generating microparticles from solutions of polymers in volatile organic solvents dispersed in an aqueous medium. Previous work has shown that this approach can also be used to deposit par...

Combining Inkjet Printing with Emulsion Solvent Evaporation to Pattern Polymeric Particles (2018)
Journal Article

We demonstrate a concept to produce deposits of polymer in the form of particles by inkjet printing an emulsion in which the discrete phase evaporates preferentially. An oil/water emulsion with polymer contained inside the oil phase is used as ink fo... Read More about Combining Inkjet Printing with Emulsion Solvent Evaporation to Pattern Polymeric Particles.
