The aim of this work was to study the generation of
monodispersed droplets at high production rates using
novel asymmetric microchannel (MC) array fabricated
on a silicone plate [1]. Monodispersed droplets are
preferable both in fundamental studies and industrial
applications. Appearance, rheology, stability against
Oswald ripening and creaming, and the suitability of
emulsion droplets as precursors to the production of
solids are strongly influenced by their size uniformity.
