Thiol-ene chemistry was exploited in droplet-based microfluidics to fabricate advanced microcapsules with tunable encapsulation, degradation, and thermal properties. In addition, by utilizing the thiol-ene photopolymerization with tunable cross-link density, we demonstrate the importance of monomer conversion on the retention of omniphilic cargo in double emulsion templated microcapsules. Furth...

A microfluidic approach to a honeycomb-structure material based on the synergistic effects of polymer rapid precipitation, double emulsion templating, and internal effervescent salt decomposition is reported. The delicate honeycomb structure exhibits unique characteristics with an external nanopore membrane and internal multiple cavities. The biological functionality of the artificial structure...

This article presents a one-step method for generating complex emulsions that exploits the phase separation of the emulsion droplet generated in the microchannel. This approach easily produces double, triple, quadruple, and Janus emulsions with monodisperse size. These emulsions can be used as useful templates for the synthesis of new functional materials, such as microcapsules, hemispheres, Ja...

A Box-Behnken design with three replicates was used for preparation and evaluation of Eudragit vancomycin (VCM) nanoparticles prepared by double emulsion. The purpose of this work was to optimize VCM nanoparticles to improve the physicochemical properties. Nanoparticles were formed by using W1/O/W2 double-emulsion solvent evaporation method using Eudragit RS as a retardant material. Full factor...

BACKGROUND Given the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity, weight-management strategies could be developed based on the effect of specific food ingredients on the gastrointestinal system to reduce food intake. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which a vegetable-oil emulsion may exert its effect on satiety by applying a multilumen tube to investigate ...

Abstract The demulsification and dewatering of the W/O emulsion are widely used in petrochemical industry, oilfield exploitation, resource environmental engineering. However, efficiently treating via traditional single methods. In this study, a new double-field coupling device is proposed, where conical structure double spherical tangential type. numerical model for established, especially, pop...

Water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) double emulsions must resist W1–W1, O–O and W1–W2 coalescence to be suitable for applications. This work isolates the stability of oil droplets in a emulsion, focusing on impact concentration hydrophilic surfactant. The against was measured ranging size from millimeters micrometers, evaluating three different measurement methods. time between contact millimeter-s...

In water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) double emulsions several irreversible instability phenomena lead to changes. Besides diffusive processes, coalescence of droplets is the main cause structural emulsions, inner can coalesce with each other (W1–W1 coalescence), be released via (W1–W2 coalescence) and oil (O–O coalescence). Which pathways contributes most failure emulsion structure cannot determi...
