Abstract

Uniform polymeric microfibers of prescribed lengths were synthesized in microfluidic devices using two different approaches—valve actuation and pulses of ultraviolet (UV) light. The more versatile valve approach was employed to demonstrate control of the length of the microfiber as a function of the frequency of valve actuation.
