Controlling Crystal Size by Drop-Based Microfluidic Crystallization

Crystallization is used to produce a number of solid products, ranging from common materials like sugar to high value products like pharmaceuticals. Control of crystal properties such as the size distribution, shape and polymorph is important in order to maintain product quality. Emulsion based methods have been demonstrated as effective means for producing polymeric and inorganic particles of controlled size. Previous studies of the control of...
