Overview
While the majority of the course involves emulsions, multiple emulsions and particle coating, we also include a comprehensive description of the range of valuable characterisation tools and their applicability.
The emphasis is on understanding the flow behaviour of the interaction of the various components in such complex systems. This should provide the basis for a rational approach to formulating and producing micro encapsulates to meet a range of needs.
Outcomes
On completion of this Microencapsulation course at the University of Leeds you’ll have an understanding of:
- developing a rational approach to formulate or modify emulsions for optimal processing behaviour, and using available laws and scaling relations to predict behaviour
- the various methods of turning emulsions into encapsulates, including the process conditions that impact their final properties and behaviour
- selecting characterisation devices and defining measurement procedures for a specific application
- evaluating and interpreting experimental data
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Map to guide you through the course: microencapsulation methods vs product requirements
- Important properties of system to encapsulate (Hansen solubility parameter)
- Important capsule properties
- Spray drying for encapsulation
- Process - fluid bed coaters, pan coaters
- Particle functionalisation by core-shell or matrix-encapsulation in fluidised beds from an industrial perspective
- Industry presentation on coating of solid particles using fluid beds
