Publication number: 20240350377Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of forming a liquid encapsulated core material and encapsulated core material compositions and uses thereof, where an interfacial fluid of a known volume is first layered on a host fluid. The encapsulated core material is then formed either by dispensing a core material from proximity, leading to the formation of a shell of interfacial material around the core material in an interfacially trapped state, or by generating a compound core material with a target inner core enclosed within a higher density outer core using a Y-junction geometry and impinging the said compound core with sufficient kinetic energy onto the floating interfacial fluid layer to form the encapsulated material via complete interfacial penetration of the compound core material.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2024Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventors: Sushanta Kumar MITRA, Sirshendu MISRA, Utsab BANERJEE
