dPCR: A Technology Review (2018, methodology): “Microfluidic droplets can be created with different techniques such as T-junction [89], nozzle (Figure 9a) [90], or step emulsification [91].”
Microencapsulation by solvent extraction/evaporation: reviewing the state of the art of microsphere preparation process technology. (2005, background): “4a,b) [70], was examined intensively for the formation of monodisperse emulsions and, more recently, for the solvent evaporation-based preparation of uniform lipid microparticles [71].”
Chondrule formation during planetesimal accretion (2011, background): “Atomization of droplets for industrial applications (Sugiura et al., 2001) relies upon a nozzle to generate a drop in downstream pressure, a concept we consider below in the context of collisions (c.f. Kieffer, 1989).”
ENGINEERING FLOWS IN SMALL DEVICES (2004, background): “Other geometries such as extrusion over a step also reproducibly form drops (Sugiura et al. 2001).”
