Microfluidic Devices Taking advantage of newly developed molecular brush surfactants that form at the DMSO-silicone oil interface, the construction of all-oil microfluidic devices with advanced functions, such as cargo transmission, separation, and chemical synthesis is reported. Taking the all-oil devices as templates, organogels with mechanical gradients can be obtained, providing a new approach for the preparation of soft gradient materials.
