Polycaprolactone is one of the widely used biodegradable polymers due to its good drug
permeability and bio- compatibility.
Why polycaprolactone ?

Why premix membrane emulsification?
small size have larger circulation time.
uniform size have uniform doses .
uniform size have better biocompatibility.

Methods:
Screening of sand beads
At the first the sand was washing with water and then separated
by using standard sieves into three different sizes .
150µm
300µm
600µm
![Page 13: Supervisor: Dr. Hassan Sawalha](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5681665c550346895dd9deff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Membrane – sand beads bed system
First the membrane consist of a bed of beads of the same size but at different heights.
![Page 14: Supervisor: Dr. Hassan Sawalha](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5681665c550346895dd9deff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Three different sand sizes of the beads were used to make a
bed of 4 cm total height.

To compact the sand beads layer and make the size of pores more uniform, the bed was sonicated using ultra sound device .
Shaking by using power sonic:

Average size measurements:
A photograph pictures from microscope of the microcapsules was
taken as a sample to make our calculations on it, where each
picture was nearly contains 50-100 micro capsules and the
average size was found .

1 -The size of the microcapsules decreases after passing the
emulsion thorough the membrane from 9.8µm to 5.5µm.
2 -The microcapsules are more uniform after being passed
through the membrane.

Effect of the height of the sand bed:

It was found that increasing the height of the bed decreases the average size of the
particles.
The relationship between the average size and height of the bed for size 150 and 300µm.

• The average particle size of the microcapsules was decreasing with
increasing the bed height (i.e.: for 150 µm at 2 cm ,6cm the average
size reduce respectively from˜ 5 µm to˜ 4 µm ) .
This is may be attributed to fact that the length of the pores
within the bed increases with increasing the bed height.

The average size of microcapsules was increased as the
size of sand particles increased (i.e.: the average size reduce from
˜ 7µm at 300µm to˜ 5 µm at 150µm) .
This may be explained as the size of the sand bead decreases
the porosity of the bed is expected to decrease .

The results showed that:
The gradual increasing of the sand bed sizes from the bottom to
the top renders the smallest average size of the particles
(~ 3.5 µm) .
Followed by the random beads mixture (~5.5 µm) .
And then the gradual decrease of the sand bed sizes from the
bottom to the top (~7.3 ).

CONCLUSION
The passage of the emulsion through the membrane reduces the size of the microcapsules and makes them more uniform.
![Page 35: Supervisor: Dr. Hassan Sawalha](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5681665c550346895dd9deff/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
decreasing the size of the sand particles or increasing the bed height decreases the size of the microcapsules .
The configuration of the sand beads within the bed highly affected the average size of the microcapsules.
![Page 36: Supervisor: Dr. Hassan Sawalha](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5681665c550346895dd9deff/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The average size of the PCL microcapsules could be optimized through the controlling the size of the sand beads, the bed height and the configuration of the sand beads within the bed.

1-The passage of the emulsion through the membrane reduces the size of the microcapsules and makes them more uniform.
3-decreasing the size of the sand particles or increasing the bed height decreases the size of the microcapsules .
2-The configuration of the sand beads within the bed highly affected the average size of the microcapsules.
4-The average size of the PCL microcapsules could be optimized through the controlling the size of the sand beads, the bed height and the configuration of the sand beads within
