, 2018 Objectives: During recent years, microgels have emerged as an effective type of drug delivery system (DDS), due to their tuneable size, increased surface area and injectability. The current study focuses on the use of microfluidic techniques for the generation of monodisperse type-I collagen (col-I) microgels crosslinked with PEG-4S, encapsulating ...

Microfluidic colloid filtration [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractFiltration of natural and colloidal matter is an essential process in today’s water treatment processes. The colloidal matter is retained with the help of micro- and nanoporous synthetic membranes. Colloids are retained in a “cake layer” – often coined fouling layer.
