Microfluidic Synthesis of Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Particle Transport Systems which Can Be Remote-Controlled Magnetically
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/f....
The microfluidic synthesis of magnetic thermo‐ and photoresponsive liquid crystalline elastomer microparticles is demonstrated. These particles can be moved magnetically with a recently developed magnetic setup that allows for precise movement in the submillimeter range over large distances (centimeter range). Furthermore, they allow the transportation of other materials using magnetic forces and their phase‐dependent “stickiness.” To know more, please go to the Advanced Functional Materials homepage.
