SUMMARY:Dripping\, jetting\, drips and wetting: the magic of microfluidics

DESCRIPTION:This talk will discuss the use of microfluidic devices to prec
 isely control the flow and mixing of fluids to make drops\, and will explo
 re a variety of uses of these drops. These drops can be used to create new
  materials that are difficult to synthesize with any other method.  These 
 materials have great potential for use for encapsulation and release and f
 or drug delivery and for cosmetics.  I will also show how the exquisite co
 ntrol afforded by microfluidic devices provides enabling technology to use
  droplets as microreactors to perform reactions at remarkably high rates u
 sing very small quantities of fluids.  I will demonstrate how this can be 
 used for new fundamental and technological applications.
