Emulsion Concentration in Microchannel Device Using an Ultrasonic Vibration

Abstract

In this research, a continuous flow system using an ultrasonic vibration microchannel device has been studied to obtain highly-concentrated emulsions for anti-cancer drugs. This research aims at increasing the ratio of oil phase against water phase of the emulsion. We have evaluated the device using the pressure distribution of acoustic standing wave in the channel oscillated by the piezoelectric vibrator.
