Diagram of short polymer fiber (SPF) synthesis using a microfluidic device and a polymer solution with higher viscosity than the coagulant. A primary breakup occurs as the polymer filament is elongated by the flowing coagulant during its gelation. A secondary breakup of the fibers can be induced by shear forces at the constriction of the laminar flow.
