We describe the microfluidic assembly of soft dimer capsules by the fusion of individual capsules with distinct properties. Microscale aqueous droplets bearing the biopolymer chitosan are generated in situ within a chip and, as they travel downsteam, pairs of droplets are made to undergo controlled cross-linking and coalescence (due to a channel expansion) to form stable dimers. These dimers ar...

abstract the decisions and personal preferences of the designer are vital for all aspects and stages of the design. to elaborate, the designer has the central role in creation, development, detailing and construction of the built forms. also, the scientific/engineering evaluations of the design models are carried out under the directions and decisions of the designer. the paper explores the con...

The final quality and cost of a manufactured product are determined to a large extent by the engineering design of the product and its production process through activities of off-line quality control methods, namely, System Design, Parameter Design and Tolerance Design. However, in the context of most non-industrialized countries, the off-line quality activities of product design and system de...
