Abstract:
The invention refers to a method of controlling the porosity of porous spherical particles produced from a polysaccharide dissolved in a solvent, in which it can be gelled. The polysaccharide solution is finely divided by mechanical means into spherical droplets which are allowed to pass through a humid atmosphere and transferred to a capturing medium while controlling the temperature and humidity of humid atmosphere.

Abstract:
A process and device are disclosed for producing microspheres by vibration-provoked dripping of a liquid through a nozzle plate (12) provided with several openings (14). In order to be able to produce spheres having up to 5 mm size, the same amount of liquid per unit of time drips through each opening (14) of the nozzle plate (12). The falling drops (18) form an envelope surrounded from all sides by flowing reaction gas. The reaction gas is introduced inside or outside the envelope and sucked away inside or outside the envelope.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing photonic crystals of which optical properties are not changed according to an external environment by filling voids between colloid particles with UV-polymerizable material is provided, photonic crystals formed by the method are provided, and a porous polymer structure formed by using the photonic crystals is provided. A method for manufacturing photonic crystals using droplets comprises the steps of: (a) dispersing colloid particles into a UV curable polymer solution to prepare an oil phase; (b) dispersing the oil phase into a water phase containing a surfactant to produce droplets; and (c) irradiating ultraviolet rays onto the droplets to crystallize the droplets. The oil phase of the step (a) contains 5 to 50%(v/v) of colloid particles. The colloid particles have a particle size of 150 to 100,000 nm. The UV curable polymer is one or more selected from the group consisting of acrylate-based polymer monomers. The water phase of the step (b) contains 0.1 to 5%(v/v) of a surfactant. The irradiation of the ultraviolet rays is performed at a luminosity of 35 to 45 mW/cm^2 for 1 to 10 seconds in the step (c). The irradiation of the ultraviolet rays is performed with the passage of 24 hours after producing the droplets in the step (c). The photonic crystals are formed in a spherical or non-spherical shape.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of method of preparing transparent or nontransparent silica aerogel granules. The method includes forming a granular wet gel by spraying a silica sol into alcohol, the silica sol being prepared by mixing a water glass solution or an opacifier-containing water glass solution with an inorganic acid solution, forming a granular alcohol gel through gelation aging and solvent substitution of the granular wet gel in alcohol, hydrophobically modifying the surface of the granular alcohol gel using an organic silane compound, and drying the surface modified gel at ambient pressure or in a vacuum. The method may prepare silica aerogel granules in a short period of time through heat treatment at a relatively low temperature and at ambient pressure or in a vacuum, thereby ensuring excellent economic feasibility, continuity and reliability, suited for mass production.

Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for using particle templating, e.g., to produce composites, discrete particles, or the like. In some embodiments, the present invention generally relates to the production of particles using the interstitial spaces between templating elements in a template structure. For example, a plurality of templating elements, which can include colloidal particles, may be arranged to form a template structure. The interstices of the templating elements can provide regions in which a fluid may be introduced. The fluid may be hardened (e.g., solidified) in some cases, e.g., to form a composite comprising the templating elements and the interstitial segments. In certain embodiments, the template structure may then be broken down to release the hardened fluid, e.g., as a plurality of discrete particles.
