Droplet Microfluidics for In Situ Study of Rapid Chemical Reactions

This thesis explores how tiny droplets of liquid can serve as miniature laboratories for studying fast chemical reactions. By combining droplet microfluidics with light-based measurement techniques, the research enables observation of how materials form and transform during rapid processes. These tools reveal events that occur within milliseconds, providing new insight into how materials are created and change over time. The outcomes advance understanding of material formation, thereby laying the groundwork for designing better materials and processes for clean energy, sustainable manufacturing, and advanced electronic technologies.
