Microfluidic encapsulation of carbon capture materials
Polymer microcapsules were created for the encapsulation of amine- and carbonate-rich solutions. Specifically, a flow-focusing microfluidic device was used to create double emulsions composed of a photocurable polymeric shell that surrounds an aqueous carbon dioxide absorbent core. After droplet …

MULTIPHASE MICROFLUIDIC FABRICATION OF POLYMERIC MICRO-CONTAINERS FOR BIO-ENCAPSULATION
This thesis presents microfluidic techniques for fabrication of polymeric micro-containers for different encapsulation applications. The literature review focuses on the various aspects of polymeric micro-containers, multiphase microfluidics and interaction between these two fields. In the first …

Elucidating the Role of Plakoglobin in Embryonic Stem Cell Culture
… agarose microgels generated by droplet microfluidics. The three-dimensional matrix of the microgels supported the naïve pluripotency network and upregulated Plakoglobin. A cell-adhesion protein located in both adherens junctions and desmosomes. It is important for tight cell-cell …

Design and synthesis of microcapsules using microfluidics for autonomic self-healing in cementitious materials
… of this research was to explore the controlled microfluidic encapsulation to investigate the production of microcapsules for physically triggered self-healing in cementitious materials. A flow-focusing microfluidic device was used to produce double emulsions to be selectively photopolymerised to …

Methods to Study Antigen-Specific B cells
… complementary methods in this dissertation: a microfluidic platform for studying antibody secreting cells (ASCs) and a reporter mouse model that enables fate-mapping of stimulated B cells. Firstly, I introduce a screening platform for studying single ASCs. Studying ASCs with high throughput is …
