Abstract
In the present study, nearly monodisperse gelatin microparticles were prepared and their thermal and rheological properties were measured. The SPG (Shirasu porous glass) membrane emulsification technique was used to prepare the particles with a narrow size distribution. The particles were cross-linked by UV irradiation in order to control the stability at higher temperatures. The packing density of the particles after the application of the centrifugal force was measured to estimate the deformability of the microparticles.
