573Communications multiple emulsification. That means that the conical valve provides also for stabilization of the additionally disrupted droplets, whereas in the orifice valve as well as in the microfluidizer this is not possible.Improving the geometry of the orifice valve by developing the conical valve, the authors have been able to present a possibility for using the dissipated energy more efficiently and, at the same time, realizing a flow pattern after the narrowest cross section which is adopted to fast separating freshly disrupted droplets in order to avoid coalescence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
