ABSTRACT
In addition to their employment in the development of synthetic continuous ow methodology, the predictable and controllable manipulation of uids attainable within micro ow devices has meant that they have begun to nd application in the preparation of colloids, nanoparticles, and even liposome production. In addition to obtaining a high degree of uidic control, the continuous nature of these devices means techniques can be developed which are suited to the production of highly reproducible droplets and particles; removing the current issues associated with batch-to-batch variation. In addition to the examples described herein, further reading on the subject can be found in the following reviews and articles; production of emulsions [1,2], polymeric particles [3], nanoparticles [4], crystals [5], lipid microstructures [6], and vesicles [7].
