Double Emulsions With One Inner Drop
Double emulsions are drops inside of drops. With microfluidics, we obtain100% encapsulation efficiency. We also generate highly monodispersed drops. Making drops of all the same size and complexity is challenging with other techniques but with microfluidics it is relatively simple. Here we show red dyed water-oil-water double emulsions that are roughly 100 microns in diameter. We use a fast camera to capture the production of double emulsions. The video is played back at a much slower speed as shown in the You Tube video below.
