A
process for the production of monodisperse droplets in the micrometre range.
Liquid is supplied to a nozzle, and an electric field is generated between
the nozzle and a counterelectrode; when the electrical stress
overcomes the surface tension of the liquid, a cone is
formed, from which a thin jet emerges and breaks up into monodisperse droplets.
Technique
able to produce monodisperse droplets of a defined size in the
micrometer range: liquid is supplied to a nozzle, and an electric field
generated between the nozzle and a counterelectrode; when the electrical stress
overcomes the surface tension of the liquid, a cone is
formed, from which a thin jet emerges, which breaks up into monodisperse droplets
