METHOD AND ELECTRO-FLUIDIC DEVICE TO PRODUCE EMULSIONS AND PARTICLE SUSPENSIONS

摘要

The invention refers to a method, and to a device to produce emulsions and particle suspensions by using electro-hydrodinamic forces and microfluidics This combined use allow the production of droplets with mean diameters which may be either smaller than those obtained in conventional microfluidic devices or larger than those obtained by electrospray, bridging the gap between the two methods acting independently.
