Particles > applications

We provide a contract particle service, making dispersions, drops and particles from a few grams to tonne quantities and we are willing to discuss installing our technology at clients' sites for their use.

For small-scale laboratory generation of drops, and particles, we provide the Micropore Dispersion Cell. This is a stirred cell cabable of generating monosized drops - see the paper published in The American Chemical Society's journal: Industrial and Engineering Chemistry (please apply if you'd like an off-print). For process-scale generation of drops, and particles, we use alternative methods for generating the shear at the membrane surface. These are proprietary techniques that we do not discuss without an agreement.

Example applications are (each has a separate page for details):

• PLGA (biocompatible polymer) with core-shell and matrix encapsulation
• PVP and PVA particles
• Polystyrene, with DVB crosslinking agent - and porogens, functionalisation, etc.
• Vegetable oils dispersed in water
• Gum Arabic shell formed particles
