Shear Stress-Triggered Deformation of Microparticles in a Tapered Microchannel

We demonstrate that it is possible to produce microparticles with high deformability while maintaining a high effective volume. For significant particle deformation, a particle must have a void region. The void fraction of the particle allows its deformation under shear stress. Owing to the importan...
