Novel encapsulation technology based on Pickering emulsion systems

Sjöö M., Bedi J., Ali A., Speximo AB, SE

A novel technology based on using particles of biological origin for stabilizing emulsions, so called Pickering emulsions, was recently developed. This technology was further employed to encapsulate different types of active substances. Advance development and [...]

Continuous Flow Real-Time Pcr Platform for High Throughput Environmental Monitoring

Ray T., Hatch A., Lintecum K., Chao S-H, Youngbull C., Arizona State University, US

We present the design and development of a continuous flow quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction system, suitable for multi-analyte, high-throughput, semi-autonomous assays. This system operates in a continuous fashion and is able to detect many different [...]

Passive Microrheology : Non Intrusive Measurement of the Emulsions Stability

Tisserand C., Fleury M., Brunel L., Bru P., Brunel L., Meunier G., Formulaction, FR

This work presents a new technique of the passive microrheology for the study of the microstructure properties of soft materials like emulsions. Our technology uses Multi Speckle DWS (MS-DWS) set-up in backscattering with a video [...]

Towards Nanoscaled Systems: New Dispersing Technologies

Fischer L., Scheid S., Thomas C., Serendip AG, CH

The presentation will give an overview of state-of-the-art technologies and today’s possibilities as well as technical and regulatory limitations. The focus will be on the potential of a new generation of homogenizers, which allowfor the [...]

Emulsions as Templates for Nanostructured Materials

Solans C., Esquena J., Nolla J., CSIC, ES

The preparation of nanostructured materials by emulsion templating is of particular interest among the soft nanotechnology processes. The use of emulsions allows good control of size and morphology, mild reaction conditions and technological feasibility. This [...]

Controlled production of food emulsion using microfluidics

Pulido de Torres C., Amici E., Gallarino A., Da Silva M., Jousse F., Unilever, UK

We present Microfluidic technology applied to the production of monodisperse emulsion in a food context. We investigate the effect of surfactants and microdevice geometry on drop size and robust production regimes. Minimum drop size achievable in [...]

Simulation of a Polymer Drop in a Shear Field with Dissipative Particle Dynamics Method

Chen S., Phan-Thien N., Fan X.J., Khoo B.C., National University of Singapore, SG

In the present study, the dynamics of polymer drops in micro channel under both steady state and transient shear flow conditions are investigated using Dissipative Particle Dynamics method. The polymer drop is made from finitely [...]
