Double emulsions are highly structured dispersion systems that generate double-layered droplets. offer an effective platform for encapsulating liquid samples. Multilayer protection, controlled release of encapsulated materials, and stability make double superior to single in handling sensitive This technology is widely used biology, food technology, cosmetics, environmental sciences. Microfluidic emulsification a promising method producing monodisperse double-emulsion droplets with high encapsulation efficiency. Well-controlled adjustment the core size shell thickness critical applications emulsions. Changing flow rates fluid phases most straightforward control emulsion sizes. However, double-emulsions can only be generated within small range rates. Thus, wide without changing device design or drastically altering properties challenging. Here, we demonstrate facile tunable phases. To address this challenge, developed proof-of-concept flexible stretchable microfluidic capable controlling size, thickness, generation frequency by adjusting channel dimensions stretching device. We incorporated three cases assess feasibility process emulsion. demonstrated increases decreases frequency. Experimental results showed ∼84% increase volume ∼23% applying ∼16% strain. innovative approach significantly advances field droplet-based microfluidics, providing on-site, real-time tunability precision reproducibility.
