Highly monodisperse conjugated polymer particles synthesized with drop-based microfluidics.
A facile method for preparing highly monodisperse, sub-micrometre conjugated polymer particles is reported. The particles are prepared through emulsification of a conjugated polymer solution on a microfluidic chip followed by solvent evaporation. The particle size is tuned between 150 nm to 2 μm, by controlling the polymer concentration.
