Droplet breakup mechanisms in premix membrane emulsification and related microfluidic channels

“…Premix membrane emulsification (PME) is a robust process for the preparation of emulsions based on flow-induced breakup of large droplets within membrane pores. Over the last decade, it has been successfully used for the preparation of complex encapsulation matrices, such as double emulsions [18,95], double emulsion-templated microspheres with porous structures [24,45,119], nanoemulsions [11], micro-/nanoparticles [120], colloidosomes [121], microgels [122], emulgels [123], high-energized composite materials [124], and droplets with multi-layered interface [115], after combining with suitable chemical and physicochemical processes (e.g., solvent evaporation, spray drying, free radical polymerization, ionic crosslinking, melt cooling, electrostatic deposition of oppositely charged polymers, complex coacervation, etc. [125].…”
