This work demonstrated a microfluidic preparation process for novel Janus microparticles with individual drug release properties in each compartment. A flow-focusing microfluidic chip was designed to produce oil-in-water droplets from a mixed solution of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and a triglyceride type lipid. Based on solvent evaporation-induced phase separation, droplets evolved and were solidified into Janus particles, each of which had a polymer compartment and a lipid compartment. The ratio of the two compartments in a particle can be discretionarily regulated, and the particle structure can also be flexibly altered to Janus-patchy, triple, quadruple or core-shell type. Phase transition of the chosen lipid from solid to liquid would occur under physiological temperature, which was applied for rapid release of the loaded drug. The polymer compartment would undergo a slow degradation process in physiological environment, facilitating sustained drug release. Paclitaxel was loaded into Janus particles during preparation, and staged release was achieved, leading to a combination of rapid and sustained release, which is highly desired in target drug delivery. This study would start the application of hybrid Janus particles of polymer-lipid type with novel release kinetics in drug delivery systems. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
