Oil droplets of limonene dissolving expanded polystyrene as a shell material were forced to collide and coalesce with the Isopar oil droplets of core material in the continuous wates phase. When two kinds of oil droplets are collided and coalesced with each other, expanded polystyrene dissolved in the limonene oil may be phase-separated in the oil droplets newly formed to form the microcapsule shell, because the Isopar oil was a poor solvent for expanded polystyrene but a good solvent for the limonene oil. In the experiment, the diameter (or number) of limonene oil droplets dissolving expanded polystyrene was mainly changed, because the coalescence frequency between the droplets is strongly dependent on the number of droplets. Favorable core shell types of microcapsules with the shell thickness from 1.0 to 5.0 μm were able to be prepared under all the experimental conditions adopted here.展开更多

Based on the stationary phase method, the optical transfer function of the circular pupil system can be easily obtained from the optical transfer function of the rectangular pupil system by modifying the cut-off frequency and the on-axial modulation transfer function. Finally, a system with a cubic phase mask is used as an example to illustrate the way to achieve the optical transfer function of the circular pupil system from the rectangular pupil system.展开更多

Besides the rheological characteristics, we analyze the Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability resulting from the tangential velocity difference of the fluids on two sides of the interface. We discuss also the growth behavior of droplets. The domains being close to the walls are lamellar-ordered, where the hydrodynamic effects dominate. The patterns in the bulk of the system are nearly isotropic, where the domain growth results mainly from the diffusion mechanism. Both the interfacial tension and the K-H instability make the liquid-bands near the walls tend to rupture. When the shear rate increases, the inequivalence of evaporation in the upstream and coagulation in the downstream of the flow as well as the role of surface tension make the droplets elongate obliquely. Stronger convection makes easier the transferring of material particles so that droplets become larger.展开更多
