Novel Membrane Emulsification: Principles, Preparation, Processes, and Bioapplications

Comprehensive resource presenting state-of-the-art of membrane emulsification technology, from principle to practice, with focus on biomedical applications

Novel Membrane Emulsification: Principles, Preparation, Processes, and Bioapplications provides comprehensive coverage of membrane emulsification technology by summarizing the principle, preparation, and bioapplications through utilizing uniform particle size, introducing recent development in preparation and applications in the controlled release and delivery of protein/peptide, anticancer drugs and vaccines, and in the bioseparation media and cell culture carriers, and discussing direct, rapid, and rotary membrane emulsification equipments.

Novel Membrane Emulsification includes information on:

• Preparation of hydrophobic microspheres from O/W emulsion, hydrophilic microspheres from W/O emulsion, and microcapsules/composite microspheres from double emulsions, covering preparation from monomer and preformed polymer systems
• Preparation of small particles by rapid membrane emulsification process
• Applications of uniform particles in sustained release of protein/peptide drugs, covering strategies to improve encapsulation efficiency and maintain bioactivity of drugs
• Applications of uniform particles in anticancer drug and vaccine delivery including personalized therapeutic vaccine
• Applications of uniform particles in protein separation, covering uniform agarose microsphere for protein separation and super-porous microsphere for vaccine separation

Novel Membrane Emulsification is an essential resource for scientists and researchers in multiple fields, particularly chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science, to advance this technique and produce novel materials with controlled characteristics. The text is also a valuable learning resource for biomedical science and bioengineering researchers and students.
