Surfactant-free, UV-curable core–shell microcapsules in a hydrophilic PDMS microfluidic device

We demonstrate a method to create surfactant-free core–shell microcapsules in a hydrophilic polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic device. An ultraviolet light curable polymer was used to encapsulate an oil core. These microcapsules ensure contamination-free compartmentation of the core material without...
