title = "Pressure tolerant multilayered polymer film microfluidics by one-step bonding process for high throughput emulsion generation",
abstract = "We present a simple method for fabrication of a pressure tolerant multilayered 3D polyimide film microfluidic device for generating a high throughput oil-in-water emulsion. The device fabricated can withstand pressure up to approximately 70 bars and temperature up to 200 °C, and polyimide is inert to solvents and solutions, not causing problems such as swelling as with PDMS. The triple-layered microchannels fabricated by one-step bonding process of patterned and assembled thin films are demonstrated to produce monodisperse n-hexane droplets upto a generation rate of 200 kHz. Moreover, highly uniform PLGA micro- And nanoparticles were obtained using 3D flow focusing device without channel clogging.",
