Abstract: The invention provides monodisperse single emulsions which have a mean emulsion particle size within the range of 0.3 to 40 .mu.m and are substantially free of emulsion particles having a particle size smaller than 50% of the mean particle size, double emulsions which have a mean emulsion particle size within the range of 0.3 to 40 .mu.m and whose internal phase concentration is controlled substantially uniformly within the range of 1% to 70%, and methods of producing these emulsions.
