Microfluidic engineering of materials

This (highly) subjective lecture will first outline a few basic things about microfluidics: microfabrication, Stokes flow, droplets, mass transport… In a second part, I will review some examples of fabrication of materials, from the synthesis of nano-objects to the fabrication micro-materials (fiber, /micro-particles…), while highlighting how microfluidics provides original conditions for the engineering of possibly smart materials.
