Abstract:We report on the precise manipulation of the fine structures of toroidal-spiral particles (TSPs) generated by a self-assembly process of droplet sedimentation at low Reynolds numbers in a miscible bulk solution followed by solidification. The biocompatible polymeric TSP can serve as a device for drug delivery and in vivo therapeutic cell expansion, activation, and delivery, for which highly tunable and reproducible structures are essential to design dosages and release kinetics. TSP formation can be divided in… Show more
