Formation of Branched and Chained Alginate Microfibers Using Theta-Glass Capillaries

Formation of Branched and Chained Alginate Microfibers Using Theta-Glass Capillaries

This study proposes a microfluidic spinning method to form alginate microfibers with branched and chained structures by controlling two streams of a sodium alginate solution extruded from a theta-glass capillary (a double-compartmented glass capillary). The two streams have three flow regimes: (i) a...
