Process for producing emulsion and microcapsules and apparatus therefor

摘要

The present invention provides a process and apparatus for rapidly producing an emulsion and microcapsules in a simple manner. A dispersion phase (6) is ejected from a dispersion phase-feeding port (4) toward a continuous phase (5) flowing in a microchannel (2) in such a manner that flows of the dispersion phase (6) and the continuous phase (5) cross each other, thereby obtaining microdroplets (7), formed by the shear force of the continuous phase (5), having a size smaller than the width of the channel for feeding the dispersion phase (6).
