Abstract

Electro-encapsulation is an emerging technology to encapsulate of micro/nano particles with very high encapsulation efficiency and a broader size distribution of capsules in single step. The present study experimentally examines electro encapsulation of a immiscible liquid pair. We have used ethylene glycol-olive oil as a liquid pair for this analysis. The effect of different physical and operational properties of inner and outer liquid is examined. Nondimensional approach is used to explain the experimental results as a function of different dimensionless number viz. Electrical Bond no (Boe), Masuda no (Md), and Capillary number (Ca).
