Emulsions are generated from two immiscible phases by applying high shear forces and adding stabilizers. Depending on the diameter (d) of the droplets produced, a distinction is made between macroemulsions (d > 1000 nm), miniemulsions (50 nm < d < 1000 nm) and microemulsions (2 nm < d < 20 nm).
Using the processes listed below, we at Fraunhofer IGB produce emulsions with variable droplet sizes for a wide range of applications.
