Abstract: We present an easy, durable method to generate a partially hydrophilic/hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic device. The functionality of this device was assessed in a double flow focusing design to fabricate core-shell structured poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles (MPs).
