Microfluidic encapsulation for controlled release and its potential for nanofertilisers

Abstract

Nanotechnology is increasingly being utilized to create advanced materials with improved or new functional attributes.

Direct Synthesis of Ammonia from Nitrate on Amorphous Graphene with Near 100% Efficiency

“…Because ox‐LIG can produce large quantities of NH 3 at high current densities, we first demonstrate the use of the flow electrolyzer for the on‐demand synthesis and controlled release of ammonia. [ 68 ] The flow cell (Figure S29, Supporting Information), which uses peristaltic pumps to improve mass transport, [ 67,68 ] can produce massive amounts of ammonia at large and stable currents (Figure 4b). Figure 4c summarizes the nitrate reduction performance of ox‐LIG using the flow cell.…”

Carbon Dots in Bioimaging, Biosensing and Therapeutics: A Comprehensive Review

“…[203] Aside from the amount of drug loaded, controlled release and slow release of drugs are still issues that need to be addressed regarding CDs-based systems. [204] An ideal sustained-release system should be able to deliver drugs that are quickly cleared or degraded when administered alone. [205] Further, it is also necessary to protect the drug from being destroyed during the release period and to release the therapeutic agent predictably during the treatment period.…”

Recent advances in the microfluidic production of functional microcapsules by multiple-emulsion templating

“…8 In the dripping mode, drops are produced by the breakup of the interface near the junction as the drag force of the continuous phase exceeds the capillary force by the injection channel. 9,10 Therefore, the size of the drops is comparable to the channel width and the frequency of drop generation is relatively low, while securing high size uniformity. By employing a narrow channel in the junction, the interface can be tailored to have a tapered jet, which is referred to as tip streaming.…”
