- The paper introduces vertical microfluidics as a new platform for fabrication of novel structured fibers. The rigorous foundation of this approach has been verified (10.1016/j.matdes.2017.04.069 and 10.1039/c8lc01081a). The outcome is significant because all previously reported articles on structured fibers have been focused on horizontal microfluidics, which has severe limitations in making tailored microfibers. This approach for preparation of tunable encapsulated microfibers has been recognised in literature (10.1016/j.cej.2017.04.008 and 10.1016/j.cep.2019.107771). This was a major achievement of the PhD student Ankur Chaurasia who graduated in 2016.
