Area of Science:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Uniform capsule production is crucial for various applications.
  • Existing methods often lack precise control over capsule wall thickness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop a novel chemical reactor for continuous, high-rate production of uniform capsules.
  • To achieve precise control over capsule wall thickness and uniformity.

Main Methods:

  • A novel chemical reactor was designed and developed.
  • The reactor precisely controls reaction time between reacting liquids (anion drops and cation bath).
  • Mild tumbling during transit ensures uniform wall thickness.

Main Results:

  • The reactor facilitates continuous, high-rate production of uniform capsules.
