Recent developments in manufacturing micro- and nano-particles from emulsion droplets
chapter
posted on 2010-11-23, 16:35 authored by Goran VladisavljevicGoran Vladisavljevic, Richard A. WilliamsMembrane and microfluidic devices are relatively new tools for highly controlled production
of particles. This review focuses on the recent developments in this area, ranging from the
production of simple and double emulsions of different types and morphologies (e.g. multiple
core-shell structures, outer drops with controlled number of internal droplets, etc) to highly
sophisticated functional products such as polymerosomes, asymmetric lipid vesicles, and
core-shell particles. Other emerging technologies that extend the capabilities into different
membrane materials and operation methods (such as rotating stainless steel membrane with
laser drilled pores) and manufacturing approaches (extrusion of pure to-be-dispersed phase or
coarsely emulsified feeds) are introduced. The use of microfluidic T-junctions, flow focusing
devices and silicon microchannel array devices is also reviewed. 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 from emulsions using different solidification
techniques.
