本研究團隊近幾年來特別在三維微管道上作深入的研究，此研究期望提供學術界理論探討的實質幫助，進而實際應用在產業界，對微流道研究上有所貢獻。
先前本研究團隊利用簡單的T字型管結合十字型管設計出一管道，且已成功地在管道中產生雙重包覆之液滴，並依照其生成趨勢劃分為三個區域，穩定區意即在此流量搭配下可產生穩定且完整的油包水之雙重包覆液滴，其實用性以及價值性是較高的，因此本研究著重於穩定區的實驗與分析，為了使穩定區範圍拉大，將原先某三個注入口受制於同一幫浦流量限制，新增一幫浦單獨調控其一注入流量，對於成功形成雙重包覆液滴將是有利的，並探討新獨立出來的注入口流量，以及對於油滴和水滴尺寸做參數測試，進而可透過注入流量的分配影響液滴的尺寸。

Stable region was defined as “the generation of stable and whole water-in-
oil-in-water double-emulsion droplet via appropriate flow rates”, and had
the highest applicability and value. Therefore, this study focused on the
experiment and analysis of stable region. The limitation of original design
was that the flow rates through three filler holes were controlled by the
same pump. In order to extend the range of stable region, the addition of
another pump for controlling one injection flow rate could benefit the
successful generation of double-emulsion droplet. Parameter measurements
were performed for analyzing the effect of new independent flow rate
through the filler hole on the sizes of oil droplet and water droplet, and then the size of droplet could be controlled via the adjustment of flow rates through the filler holes.
