additional remarks | Structured microparticles, with unique shapes, customizable sizes, multiple materials, and spatially-defined chemistries, are leading the way for emerging ‘lab on a particle’ technologies. These microparticles with engineered designs find applications in multiplexed diagnostics, drug delivery, single-cell secretion assays, single-molecule detection assays, high throughput cytometry, micro-robotics, self-assembly, and tissue engineering. In this course, we will learn about the state-of-the-art particle manufacturing technologies based on flow-assisted photolithography performed inside microfluidic channels. Important physiochemical concepts will be discussed to provide a basis for understanding the fabrication technologies. These photolithography technologies will be compared based on the structural as well as compositional complexity of the fabricated particles. Particles will be categorized, from 1D to 3D particles, based on the number of dimensions that can be independently controlled during the fabrication process. After discussing the pros and cons of the individual techniques, important applications of the fabricated particles will be covered.
