  • Method and electro-fluidic device to produce emulsions and particle suspensions
    Patent number: 9789451
    Abstract: The invention refers to a method, and to a device to produce emulsions and particle suspensions by using electro-hydrodinamic forces and microfluidics This combined use allow the production of droplets with mean diameters which may be either smaller than those obtained in conventional microfluidic devices or larger than those obtained by electrospray, bridging the gap between the two methods acting independently.

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING NANOFIBRES OF EPOXY RESIN FOR COMPOSITE LAMINATES OF AERONAUTICAL STRUCTURES TO IMPROVE THEIR ELECTROMAGNETIC CHARACTERISTICS
    Publication number: 20100203315
    Abstract: Composite structures and a method for improving the electromagnetic characteristics of composite structures produces epoxy nanofibres during the lay-up of structural elements of carbon fibre composite laminates. The epoxy nanofibres are fabricated by electro-spinning and may be doped with carbon nanotubes or other conducting nanoparticles. The nanofibres are selectively applied to one or more carbon fibre plys in a controlled manner of distribution.

  • Production of capsules and particles for improvement of food products
    Patent number: 6989169
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the production of capsules or particles of micro and nanometric size, for introduction into food, using stable electrified coaxial jets of two immiscible liquids with diameters in the micro and nanometric range. An aerosol of charged structured droplets forms when the jets dissociate by capillary instabilities. The structured droplets, which are mano-dispersed in size, contain a first liquid (generally the material desired to be added) that is surrounded by a second liquid. Generally the second liquid provides a barrier or protective coating which allows the addition of the first liquid to a food product without adversely affecting the organoleptic or other properties of the food product.

  • Device and procedure to generate steady compound jets of immiscible liquids and micro/nanometric sized capsules
    Publication number: 20040069632
    Abstract: A device and method for generating drops. The drops are generated by applying an electrical potential to a set of feeding tips which have immiscible or poorly miscible liquids running through them.
