Abstract

We report versatile uses of multilayered polyimide (PI) film microreactors fabricated by simple one-step thermal bonding. The film microdevices have a high pressure-tolerance with high reproducibility that withstand pressure up to 1246 psi, 2359 psi upon bonding the channel either by PI adhesive film and the fluoropolymer adhesive, respectively. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic microdevices were used to generate monodisperse emulsions and polymer micro/nanoparticles at high generation frequency. Moreover, we performed partial reduction of ester within several 101 millisecond. Simple and economical techniques and devices could be useful for various microfluidic applications in chemistry and biology.
