Dynamics of spontaneous emulsification
We present a model for spontaneous emulsification resulting from a transiently negative interfacial tension between water and oil regions, which may be achieved under conditions of strong adsorption of surfactant molecules to the interface. While our approach builds on a linear stability analysis, it addresses the essential non-linear coupling of surface growth to the diffusion flux of surfacta...
متن کاملFerulic Acid Lecithin-Based Nano-Emulsions Prepared by Using Spontaneous Emulsification Process
Ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid), an effective component of medical plant, is a phenolic acid with low toxicity that can be absorbed and easily metabolized in the human body. The solubility of Ferulic Acid (FA) is very low in aqueous solutions which can cause problem in preparation of pharmaceutical products, but it can easily be dissolved in oil/water interface of <...
متن کاملMicrofluidic melt emulsification for encapsulation and release of actives.
A microfluidic melt emulsification method for encapsulation and release of actives is presented. Using a water-in-oil-in-water (W-O-W) double emulsion template, solid capsules can be formed by freezing the middle shell phase. Actives encapsulated inside the solid shell can be controllably and rapidly released by applying a temperature trigger to melt the shell. The choice of the shell materials...
متن کاملMicrofluidic emulsification and sorting assisted preparation of monodisperse chitosan microparticles.
A microfluidic device for generating monodisperse chitosan microparticles and separating the desired particle from smaller particles created as a byproduct of this process was described. The purpose of this study is to separate the satellite droplets from their parent droplets to enhance the size uniformity of the desired microparticles. A double T-junction design was first employed to control ...
متن کاملHigh-Throughput Step Emulsification for the Production of Functional Materials Using a Glass Microfluidic Device
High-volume production of monodisperse droplets is of importance for industrial applications due to increased emulsion stability, precise control over droplet volumes, and the formation of periodic arranged structures. So far, parallelized microfluidic devices are limited by either their complicated channel geometry or by their chemically or thermally unstable embedding material. This study sho...
