Definition - emulsions
Emulsion – noun
“A fine dispersion of minute droplets of one liquid in another in which it is not soluble or miscible.”
Example:
‘oil beaten to an emulsion with a half tablespoonful of vinegar’

Definition - emulsions
Emulsions are usually specified as:
A dispersed phase (the droplet - DP) and a continuous phase (the supporting liquid - CP)
• Oil in water (o/w)
• Water in oil (w/o)
• Water in oil in water (w/o/w)
• Oil in water in oil (o/w/o)
When mixing stops, the phases start to separate.

Definition - emulsifiers
However, when an emulsifier is added to the system, the droplets remain dispersed, and a stable emulsion is obtained.
An emulsifier is a molecule in which one end likes to be in an oily environment and the other in a water environment.
The emulsifier positions itself at the oil/water or air/water interface and, by reducing the surface tension, has a stabilising effect on the emulsion.

The state of the art
In industrial settings, emulsions can be formed in anumber of ways.
• Simple stirred tanks
• Shaking/Agitation/Ultrasonics
• Microfluidics
• Homogenisation
• Membrane emulsification
Each method has strengths and weaknesses.

Homogenisation
Most focus on a process of drawing in the DP through a screen or aperture using shear forces to break the DP droplets down further.
In-tank, in-line or recirculated, depending on the application.
Control can be gained by setting gaps, choosing screens, speed (rpm) or number of passes.

Homogenisation
Typically…
• High shear
• Powerful motors/energy intensive
• Noisy!
• Need to monitor DP droplet size via particle sizing/viscosity/opacity or turbidity/number of passes or time
• A chance that the emulsion could ‘invert’
– Flip from w/o to o/w or o/w to w/o

Membrane Emulsification10
Marijana Dragosavac10
Membrane emulsification (ME) has been around since 1980’s but always limited to lab scale.
• Shirasu porous glass (SPG)
• Ceramics
• Silicone wafers
• More recently - Nickel/Stainless steel

Membrane Emulsification
• This is the process of forming an emulsion by dispersing one phase into another through a porous membrane
• As the pores are all the same size, the emulsions produced are very narrowly-dispersed and of a high quality

Encapsulation
What is microencapsulation?
Dictionary definition : microcapsule (micro|cap¦sule) - noun
“a minute capsule used to contain drugs, dyes, or other substances and render them temporarily inactive.”
Essentially a technique to isolate/entrap or stabilise materials.
And to control the release of the encapsulated material.

Encapsulation - Benefits
Micropore have an array of controlled release technologies that…
• Can act as delivery systems.• Isolate, stabilise, protect and release.
• Can enhance product functionality.• Improve processability by reducing unwanted
interactions between formulation components.• Provide a narrow particle size distribution.
• Meaning that every particle behaves in exactly the same way.

Summary
We have the technology…
• to manufacture uniformly sized emulsions
• with controlled size characteristics
• at high production volumes
• under favourable process conditions
• which can be used to make microcapsules
…using membrane emulsification techniques.
