  • Liquid crystal emulsification method and liquid crystal emulsion
    Patent number: 11884865
    Abstract: A liquid crystal emulsification method that can reduce formulation restriction and adjust the size of a dispersed phase with small variation in size of the dispersed phase, and a liquid crystal emulsion are provided. The liquid crystal emulsification method includes: adding a moisture content and/or an oil content at a predetermined ratio to a surfactant having an HLB falling within a predetermined range; and setting a temperature during formation of a dispersion or an emulsion to a predetermined temperature, to adjust a lamellar liquid crystal having a regular molecular arrangement in which the oil content and/or the moisture content are alternately arranged in a bilayer membrane formed from the surfactant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 10, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: Wacker Chemie AG
    Inventors: Kenji Igarashi, Shinichi Araki, Yoko Hori
