Introduction of Particle Synthesis
Particles are considered critical in versatile emerging frontiers, such as advanced drug delivery systems, biomolecular sensing, cancer theragnostic, molecular catalysis, and targeted imaging. In each of these fields, the properties of particles such as size, shape, composition, and surface chemistry can be systematically exploited to optimize their efficacy. All these cases require to have efficient, controllable, and reproducible techniques for particle synthesis and preparation.
Over the years, a variety of synthetic methods have been developed for producing particles. However, these conventional synthesis methods always tend to suffer from a lack of precise control of the mixing, nucleation, and growth processes. Therefore, a more general platform is required to increase the rate at which new particles can be synthesized and tested as potential applications become apparent.

Microfluidic Chip Development for Particles Synthesis
The synthesis of particles has long been the focus of very intensive research because, from painting formulation to drug delivery, they cover a wide range of applications. With the intelligent design and construction of microreactors, recent studies employed microfluidics for controllable synthesis and application of particles with desired and predetermined structures. These functional particles produced in a well-controlled, reproducible, and high-throughput manner demonstrate superior performance in many fields. In addition, microfluidic technologies acting as a robust platform for the screening of particles offer a great route to accelerate the clinical translation of these functional materials.
Microfluidics has become one of the best options to create an effective mixing environment for particle preparation. Various particles can be synthesized using microfluidic techniques, including but not limited to:
For the synthesis process of particles, two distinct categories of microfluidic devices have been identified: microchannel-based and capillary-based microsystems.
