Abstract: The invention relates to a process of creating particles of controlled size by creating them in the interstitial regions in a batch, semi-continuous, or continuous liquid phase. The method comprises making solid particles comprising: adding a precursor material to a liquid carrier to form a liquid continuous phase, wherein the concentration of the precursor material is from about 5% to about 99% by weight of the continuous liquid phase; adding an inert phase into the liquid continuous phase of step a, resulting in an inert phase and continuous liquid phase mixture having a volume fraction of the inert phase of from about 30% to about 98% and inert phase domain size of about 0.2 to about 200 ?m; transforming the precursor material physically or chemically, resulting in the formation of solid particles.

Abstract: A method of making a stable detersive surfactant containing personal care composition comprising the steps of emulsifying a stabilizing agent in the presence of anionic surfactant to form an emulsion containing droplets having a particle size of from about 0.1 to about 10 um. These particles are then cooled to form a stabilizing premix at a rate of about 10 to about 1000 C/min to form crystals from the droplets, the crystals having a maximum dimension of about 0.1 to about 3 um. These crystals are then added to a detersive surfactant containing personal care composition to increase stability.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of creating particles of controlled size by creating them in the interstitial regions in a continuous liquid phase that contains a second, inert gas phase at high volume fraction; namely a foam. The second phase creates a physical barrier that limits the aggregation of formed particles beyond the size of the narrow interstitial regions occupied by the continuous phase. This technique is useful when the particles normally create large aggregates due to the fast nature of the reaction and the strong attractions between the formed particles, and for enhancing the deposition of high-value materials by connecting them to coacervates of controlled size.

Abstract: An extrusion/coating die. The die has an internal cavity and one or more static mixers in the die cavity. The static mixer fills the die cavity at its respective cross section. The die may also have one or more auxiliary inlets for separately admitting material/energy to the die.

Abstract: A die having first inlet and at least one auxiliary inlet for admitting materials to the die. Different materials may be admitted to the die at different positions, due to the placements of the inlets. The inlets may also be used to admit energy to cure/crosslink/disperse/blend materials contained in the die. By staggering the inlets and static mixers, different materials may have different residence times and different degrees of mixing, crosslinking and/or curing prior to being extruded from the die. A static mixer may be disposed in the die.
