Evaporative phase separation in polymer microdroplets with confinement and internal flow

Evaporative phase separation in polymer microdroplets with confinement and internal flow

Evaporation can drive initially homogeneous multiphase liquid systems out of equilibrium to induce liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Here, we demonstrate evaporative LLPS in microfluidic-generated emulsion microdroplets of polymer mixtures. The evaporation produces distinct polymer phases withi...
