  • Generation of bubbles using nitrogen gas and an alginate solution with Pluronic F127 surfactant.
  • Processing of liquid crystalline foams into open-cell solid foams.

    • Main Results:

    • Observed dynamic patterns of bubbles encapsulated in liquid droplets.
    • Demonstrated linear dependence of bubble size on gas pressure and inverse dependence on liquid flow rate.
    • Achieved self-assembly of monodisperse bubbles into crystalline structures, forming uniform foams.

    Conclusions:

    • Microfluidics provides a robust method for fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds with controlled, uniform pore sizes.
    • The resulting foam gel is a promising scaffold material for culturing chondrocytes.
    • This technique advances the development of biomimetic scaffolds for regenerative medicine.
