N2 - Over the past decade, the advancement of microfluidic technology associated with ultrasonics had received a considerate impact across the field, especially in biomedical and polymer synthesis applications. Nevertheless, there are much hindrance remained unsolved, to achieve simple processing, high scalability and high yield biopolymer products that stabilize during the process. In this review, we discuss the underlying physics for both microfluidic and ultrasonic integration in the synthesis of emulsion-based biopolymer and application. The current progress was outlined, focus on its related applications. We also summarized the current strengths and weakness of the microfluidic-ultrasonic integrated technology, aiming to contribute into SDG 12 for responsible consumption and production.
