Abstract: Herein is described a process for producing microbubbles, the process comprising passing a first fluid medium through a first capillary, passing second fluid medium through a second capillary, such that the first fluid medium and second fluid medium meet at a junction and form microbubbles having a core of the first fluid medium and a shell of the second fluid medium, the microbubbles then flowing along an exit capillary, wherein a DC voltage and a superimposed AC voltage are applied to the exit capillary and microbubbles then exit the exit capillary.

Abstract: To create a field electron emission material, there is printed upon a substrate (1501) an ink (1503) comprising a major component of fluid vehicle; a first minor component of electrically insulating material, either on its own or provided within a precursor therefor; and a second minor component of electrically conductive particles (1504). The printed ink is then treated to expel the major component and create the field electron emission material from the minor components on the substrate. The electrically conductive particles may be omitted, to print a solid, electrically insulating layer in a field emission device.
