Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for coaxial nozzles, capsule fabrication systems comprising coaxial nozzles, and methods of capsule fabrication using capsule fabrication systems. In certain embodiments, coaxial nozzle configurations, capsule fabrication systems, and methods as described herein can be used for multi-layered capsule fabrication.
Claims20
A capsule fabrication system comprising:
- a coaxial nozzle comprising a core flow channel, an annular flow channel, and a sheath flow channel, the coaxial nozzle configured to form a compound flow of at least one fluid;
- a fluid delivery system configured to deliver a first fluid of the at least one fluid to the core channel, a second fluid of the at least one fluid to the annular channel, and a third fluid of the at least one fluid to the sheath channel, wherein the compound flow comprises at least one of:
- a core flow of the first fluid, an annular flow of the second fluid, and a sheath flow of the third fluid;
- a vibrator configured to introduce a vibration to the compound flow to form one or more capsules;
- and
- a collection bath configured to receive one or more capsules from the coaxial nozzle.
3 more elements
A capsule fabrication system comprising:
