Continuous microfluidic liquid-liquid extraction is realized in a microfluidic device by generating emulsions with large interfacial areas for mass transfer, and subsequently breaking these emulsions using electric fields into easily separated segments of immiscible liquids (plugs). The microfluidic device employs insulated electrodes in a potassium hydroxide-etched channel to create large elec...

Emissions and fuel consumption are essential parameters to indicate the working of a combustion engine. This paper discusses methods achieve lower emissions efficient consumption. One is by making emulsion fuel. The emulsion-making surfactant emulsion, micro-emulsion, ultrasonic real-time non-surfactant (RTES). In research, mixture B30 Biodiesel water without that supplied in after being mixed ...

In this study, a membrane-integrated glass capillary device for preparing small-sized water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion droplets is demonstrated. The concept of integrating microfluidics to prepare precise structure-controlled double emulsion droplets with the membrane emulsification technique provides a simple method for preparing small-sized and structure-controlled double emulsion dropl...

Electrodeposition is a very important technology in the fabrication of micro-compo‐ nents for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) or integrated circuits. Evalua‐ tions of the materials used in these devices as 3D components should be conducted using micro-sized specimens due to the sample size effect on the practical use of the components. Nanocrystalline metals could be deposited using an ...

A stable water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) double emulsion containing in its inner aqueous phase a microbial consortium (60mgprotein L 1 double emulsion) known to degrade methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was prepared. The primary emulsion (W1/O) had a volume disperse phase (f1) of 0.3 and was stabilized with 8% Span 80. The double emulsion had a volume disperse phase (f2) of 0.3 and was stabilized ...

Background: To assess efficacy and safety of Cyclosporine micro-emulsion (Neoral®) in psoriasis treatment Material and Methods: A total of 102 patients (mean age: 42.1 ± 11.2; 51.0% were males) who were considered appropriate for Cyclosporine micro-emulsion (Neoral®) treatment by study investigators were enrolled in this multicentre post marketing surveillance study (COLO400CTR05) at 2 differen...

Multi-tag pyrosequencing has become a key method in the analysis of microbial community composition. However, it is well known that kinetic bias during the initial PCR amplification of such microbial communities can dramatically distort amplicon abundance prior to downstream emulsion PCR and pyrosequencing. Here we present a simple protocol combining length-heterogeneity PCR fingerprinting with...

kinetics of radical polymerizations of waterborne alkyd/acrylic hybrid resin via batch mini-emulsion technique was studied using redox initiators (tbhp/fe2+/edta/asac  and  tbhp/fe2+/edta/sfs) at relatively low temperatures and thermal initiators (bpo, kps and aibn) at higher temperatures to seek the most suitable initiator system. at the end of all reactions the unreacted monomer content was r...

Recently, the rapid development of technology such as biochips, microfluidic, micro-optical devices and micro-electromechanical-systems (MEMS) demands the capability to create complex design of three-dimensional (3D) microstructures. In order to create 3D microstructures, the traditional photolithography process often requires multiple photomasks to form 3D pattern from several stacked photores...

Abstract The application of micro-/nano-capsules in construction industries has been rising over the past decade. Polyurea with tunable chemical and morphological structure are interesting polymers to prepare used construction. polyurea micro-/nano-capsule is capable be tailored via bulk emulsion or microfluidic method. Important factors for production micro/nano-capsules rate fabrication havin...
