In conventional processing formulated particles are often in the millimetre size range. However, to improve the mass transfer characteristics and process efficiency, encapsulation within smaller droplets is needed in combination with a continuous solidification step. The student will investigate the influence of the rheology of the various sustainable biopolymer/oil systems, encapsulants, concentrations, interfacial phenomena, membrane pore size, as well as operating conditions. Stability of the capsules to keep the encapsulants will be investigated to understand how to optimise the shelf life of the product. Understanding the effects on performance in a range of formulation applications will be examined with the intention to obtain a free-flowing powder. Controlled release / shelf-life tests might be performed too.

在传统加工中，配制的颗粒通常在毫米尺寸范围内。然而，为了提高传质特性和工艺效率，需要将其封装在较小的液滴中并结合连续固化步骤。学生将研究各种可持续生物聚合物/油系统、封装剂、浓度、界面现象、膜孔径以及操作条件的流变学的影响。将研究保持封装剂的胶囊的稳定性，以了解如何优化产品的保质期。将检查对一系列配方应用中性能的影响，以获得自由流动的粉末。也可以进行控制释放/保质期测试。
