Polymer solutions are useful precursors to synthesize microparticles with microfluidic devices, but most polymer solutions are incompatible with microfluidic emulsification due to their non‐Newtonian flow characteristics. A technique is presented to form monodisperse particles from such solutions by surrounding them with a chaperoning Newtonian fluid and forcing both to pinch into preparticle drops.
