Abstract

Exclusively focusing on a chip-based approach, limits the full potential of microfluidics. Here, we demonstrated that in-air microfluidics (IAMF), where fluids are controlled (e.g. mixed, encapsulated and solidified) in the air, has distinct advantages over a chip-based approach. By coalescing two liquid microjets, we produced monodisperse emulsions, particles, and fibers with controlled shape and size (10-1000 μm) at rates that were ∼100 times higher than obtained using traditional microfluidics. Moreover, IAMF connects the fields of microfluidics and additive manufacturing, as it enabled direct jetting of in-air and oil-free produced micromaterials onto substrates to form 3D printed (bio)materials with intrinsic hierarchy.
