摘要:
The present invention generally relates to microfluidic droplets and, including forming gels within microfluidic droplets. In some aspects, a fluid containing agarose or other gel precursors is transported into a microfluidic droplet, and caused to harden within the droplet, e.g., to form a gel particle contained within the microfluidic droplet. Surprisingly, a discrete gel particle may be formed even if the fluid containing the agarose or other gel precursor, and the fluid contained within the microfluidic droplet, are substantially immiscible. Other aspects of the present invention are generally directed to techniques for making or using such gels within microfluidic droplets, kits containing such gels within microfluidic droplets, or the like.

A process is provided for releasably encapsulating a biological entity. The process comprises combining a solution of a surfactant in a non-polar solvent with a precursor material and the biological entity to form an emulsion. The emulsion comprises a polar phase dispersed in a non-polar phase, wherein the polar phase comprises the biological entity. The particles comprising the biological entity are then formed from the polar phase.

The invention relates to methods for producing stabilized zirconium oxide powder suitable for pressing shaped elements and subsequent sintering to provide high-density ceramic materials. To this end, an aqueous solution of a zirconium salt containing an additive is converted into droplets. The droplets formed are solidified, by the action of ammonia, into gel particles which are then washed, dewatered dried and calcined.
摘要:
A method of producing uniform inorganic microspheres with a particle size of 0.01 to 500 .mu.m by injecting an aqueous solution containing a particle-forming material into an organic solvent. The method includes injecting the aqueous solution into the organic solvent through a macromolecular membrane having a hydrophobic surface and having pores substantially uniform in pore size and extending in the direction of thickness of the membrane, substantially straight through the membrane, so that a path length of each of the pores corresponds substantially to a thickness of the membrane, to form, in said organic solvent, a large number of emulsion particles substantially uniform in size and then producing uniform inorganic microspheres from said emulsion particles on a one emulsion particle-to-one microsphere basis. The pores in the membrane are formed by either a corpuscular or laser beam.
