Chaotic printing enables the precise layering of different active ingredients—a feature that may greatly facilitate the development of polypills with customizable release profiles. Recently, chaos-assisted fabrication has been extended to produce micro-architected hydrogel spheres in a high-throughput manner, potentially enhancing the versatility and efficiency of drug delivery methods.
