Polymeric onions : A facile method to produce monodisperse multiple emulsion drops of high order is developed using a capillary microfluidic device. Coaxial multiphase flows are stabilized by confinement in microcapillary and emulsified to multiple emulsion drops. The breakup of coaxial interfaces, triggered by the core‐drop, facilitates the making of multiple emulsion drops of onionlike configuration.
