Synthesis of Hydrogel Microparticles from Ultra‐High‐Viscosity Pre‐Gel Solution by Combining Centrifugal Force and Ultrasonic Vibration (Small 34/2025)
Source abstract
Abstract
Hydrogel Microparticles In article number 2412715, Yuta Kurashina and co-workers devised a novel microparticle synthesis device for obtaining hydrogel microparticles from ultra-high-viscosity pre-gel solution, previously impossible to synthesize. The schematic highlights that the combination of centrifugal force and ultrasonic vibration promoted the ejection of ultra-high-viscosity pre-gel solution in micro-sized particles. In this study, the demonstration of mixing heterogeneous hydrogels and loading live cells contributes to the application of hydrogel microparticles for drug discovery research and tissue formation in hydrogels.
