Cellulose through the Lens of Microfluidics: A Review

Cellulose, a linear polysaccharide, is the most common and renewable biopolymer in nature. Because this natural polymer cannot be melted (heated) or dissolved (in typical organic solvents), making complicated structures from it necessitates specialized material processing design. In review, we looked at literature to see how cellulose various shapes forms has been utilized conjunction with microfluidic chips, whether as component of being processed by chip, providing characterization via chips. We more than approximately 250 sources compile publication, sought portray manufacturing utilizing system. The findings reveal that variety products, including elongated fibres, microcapsules, core–shell particles, 3D 2D structured microfluidics-based devices, may easily built coupled topics microfluidics cellulose. This review intended provide concise, visual, yet comprehensive depiction current research on topic product design understanding using microfluidics, including, but not limited to, paper-based implications, emulsification/shape formation inside
