Recent developments in manufacturing emulsions and particulate products using membranes
journal contribution
posted on 2012-10-03, 14:02 authored by Goran VladisavljevicGoran Vladisavljevic, Richard A. WilliamsMembrane emulsification (ME) is a relatively new technique for the highly controlled production of particulates. This review focuses on the
recent developments in this area, ranging from the production of simple oil-in-water (O/W) or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions to multiple
emulsions of different types, solid-in-oil-in-water (S/O/W) dispersions, coherent solids (silica particles, solid lipid microspheres, solder metal
powder) and structured solids (solid lipid microcarriers, gel microbeads, polymeric microspheres, core-shell microcapsules and hollow
polymeric microparticles). Other emerging technologies that extend the capabilities into different membrane materials and operation methods
(such as rotating membranes, repeated membrane extrusion of coarsely pre-emulsified feeds) are introduced. The results of experimental work
carried out by cited researchers in the field together with those of the current authors are presented in a tabular form in a rigorous and systematic
manner. These demonstrate a wide range of products that can be manufactured using different membrane approaches. Opportunities for creation
of new and novel entities are highlighted for low throughput applications (medical diagnostics, healthcare) and for large-scale productions
(consumer and personal products).
