Spheres, tears, and spears: Regulating the perimeter and circularity of millimeter‐sized alginate hydrogel beads

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Generating hydrogel beads pertains to many engineering applications. We examined two alginate‐based fluids at three concentrations of alginate, cAG$$ {c}_{\mathrm{AG}} $$. We used the “Map of Misery” to determine which material property (viscosity, elasticity, and inertia) drives droplet formation.
