Assembly of magnetic microcomposites from low pH precursors using a novel micro-fluidic-jet-spray-dryer

On the spray drying of uniform functional microparticles

“…The MFJSD equipped with MFAN has been shown to be very versatile in the generation of powders of up to 20 g/h (Fig. 5), with the applications to date including, but not limited to, functional foods (Fu et al, 2011;Fang, Rogers, Selomulya, & Chen, 2012), photoluminescent composites (Wu et al, 2011a), ultra high temperature ceramics (Zhong et al, 2012), magnetic materials Amelia, Wu, Chen, & Selomulya, 2012), microencapsulates (Liu, Selomulya, & Chen, 2013a;Liu et al, 2013b;Liu, Wu, Selomulya, & Chen, 2011a, 2011b, 2013cWu, Liu, Selomulya, & Chen, 2011c), and mesoporous microparticles (Waldron et al, 2014a,b;Wu et al, 2013). The next section will provide a brief overview of uniform microparticles generated via the microfluidic jet spray drying technique, and their potential applications for encapsulation and controlled release.…”

A Simple, Scalable Process for the Production of Porous Polymer Microspheres by Ink‐Jetting Combined with Thermally Induced Phase Separation

“…A combination of ink‐jet printing and TIPS was used to produce porous PLGA microspheres that can potentially be used as delivery vehicles for a range of active biomolecules. The experimental set‐up shown in Figure generated similarly sized polymer solution droplets from the ink‐jet nozzle with an even spacing between them, as expected for a homogeneous polymer solution ejected at a steady flow rate . Control of the final particle size distribution (PSD) can be achieved by varying the manufacturing process parameters such as the feed pressure of the polymer solution, the height between the printhead and the surface of the liquid nitrogen, the nozzle size and the frequency of droplet ejection.…”

Drying of a single droplet to investigate process–structure–function relationships: a review

“…This represents a (T inlet -T outlet ) Fig. 8 Diagram of relationships between process parameters, material properties, fundamental variables, and particle and powder properties in spray drying fascinating intellectual challenge for potential applications in the production of catalysts, low dielectrically constant chromatography fillers, pigments, microelectronic, and electro-optic elements (Amelia et al 2012;Iskandar et al 2007;Okuyama et al 2006;Okuyama and Wuled Lenggoro 2003).…”
