Method and Apparatus for Forming Chromonic Nanoparticles

摘要

A method and apparatus for forming guest molecules encapsulated with chromonic material are described. The method includes atomizing a solution to form a pre-atomized particle stream. The solution includes chromonic material, a guest molecule and a carrier fluid. Then, atomizing the pre-atomized particle stream to form an atomized particle stream; evaporating at least a portion of the carrier fluid from the atomized particle stream to form a dried atomized particle stream, and forming encapsulated guest molecules from the dried atomized particle stream.
