title: Microfluidic Stamping on Sheath Flow.
abstract: A microfluidic stamping method to form functional shapes on a cross section in fiber-shaped flow is proposed. Microfluidic stamping and overstamping allow various cross sectional shapes on the 3D flow. The shapes can be controlled by a change in combination of structures and fluidic conditions which correspond to stamp type and stamping force.
