Preparation and analysis of uniform emulsion droplets using SPG membrane emulsification technique

Porogen effects in synthesis of uniform micrometer-sized poly(divinylbenzene) microspheres with high surface areas

“…It has been demonstrated that hydrophilic or polar additive in the oil phase would result in polydisperse emulsion, because of its wettability to the thin layer of the aqueous phase on the hydrophilic pore surface of the SPG membrane [15,27]. We found that this tendency was reflected by the correlation between the distribution of droplet and the aqueous solubility of the porogen.…”

Preparation of emulsions and particles by membrane emulsification for the food processing industry

“…Therefore, an increase in flux may be at the expense of droplet size distribution. The effect of transmembrane pressure is dependent on operating conditions, as crossflow velocity and type of surfactant (Schröder et al, 1998, Schröder andSchubert, 1999;Katoh et al, 1996;Scherze et al, 1999;Yuyama et al, 2000).…”

Crystallization of alpha-lactose monohydrate in a drop-based microfluidic crystallizer

“…Methods such as SPG membrane emulsification (Yuyama et al, 2000) or microchannel emulsification (Kobayashi et al, 2005) have been used to produce drops of controlled size distribution. Uniform sized drops may also be produced using flow-focusing, jetting, or electrohydrodynamic jetting (Basaran, 2002).…”
