In the horizontal gradual expansion-longitudinal sudden expansion emulsification unit, the gradual expansion structure of the wedge-shaped flow section of equal depth pushes the fluid away from the wall of the channel, and promotes the accelerated detachment of droplets under the action of surface tension. The change of the interface Laplace pressure difference produces a directional capillary driving pressure difference, which promotes the rapid outflow of the fluid, and breaks to form droplets under the Rayleigh instability. The two effects cooperate with each other to improve the power of the emulsion. The module can promote the formation of double emulsion; the fractal structure fluid distribution channel can solve the problem of uneven distribution of each phase fluid among multiple parallel preparation units.
Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及双重乳液微流控生产技术领域,尤其涉及一种分形阶跃通道式双重乳液微流控量产装置。The invention relates to the technical field of double emulsion microfluidic production, in particular to a fractal step channel double emulsion microfluidic mass production device.
背景技术Background technique
与单液滴相比,双重乳液是含有较小液滴的乳液滴,内部存在特有的壳-核结构,因其特有的灵活性和可控性而被广泛应用于化学化工、医药、化妆品等领域。传统的搅拌法、机械振荡法等传统双重乳液制备技术中,制备过程通常伴随强烈的振荡与剪切,这些制备方法下生成的双重乳液存在可控性差、球形度低、分散度低等问题。Compared with single droplets, double emulsions are emulsion droplets containing smaller droplets, and there is a unique shell-core structure inside. Because of its unique flexibility and controllability, it is widely used in chemical engineering, medicine, cosmetics, etc. field. In the traditional double emulsion preparation techniques such as traditional stirring method and mechanical oscillation method, the preparation process is usually accompanied by strong oscillation and shearing. The double emulsion produced by these preparation methods has problems such as poor controllability, low sphericity, and low dispersion.
微流控技术可通过对微小通道内多相流体的有效组织,实现多相流体及其相界面行为的精确控制。因此,与传统的乳液制备技术相比,采用微流控技术制备双重乳液具有单分散性好、球形度优、可控性高等优点,且原材料消耗小,整个制备过程更加经济、安全。Microfluidic technology can realize the precise control of multiphase fluid and its phase interface behavior through the effective organization of multiphase fluid in tiny channels. Therefore, compared with the traditional emulsion preparation technology, the preparation of double emulsion by microfluidic technology has the advantages of good monodispersity, excellent sphericity, high controllability, etc., and the consumption of raw materials is small, and the whole preparation process is more economical and safer.
目前,针对单通路微流控液滴生成过程的研究已经较为成熟,可以生产出高品质、单分散的单、双重乳液乃至多重乳液液滴,且液滴的尺寸、核壳比、内液滴的个数均能实现连续可调。但在双重乳液量产过程中,各相流体在多路并行制备单元之间会出现分配不均的问题,在并行常规的流动聚焦结构的乳化体系中,当各相流体流量出现波动时,液滴尺寸也会随之变化,导致双重乳液的分散度低。此外,微流控装置中的各相流体流动缓慢,常引起单元出口处相界面包覆及脱离过程“动力不足”,进而造成乳液生成失败甚至通道阻塞。因此,各相流体的均匀分配和制备单元液滴生成的充足动力是高品质双乳液工业化量产的两大瓶颈问题。At present, the research on the single-channel microfluidic droplet generation process has been relatively mature, and high-quality, monodisperse single-, double-emulsion, and even multiple-emulsion droplets can be produced, and the droplet size, core-shell ratio, inner droplet The number can be continuously adjusted. However, in the process of mass production of double emulsions, there will be uneven distribution of the fluids of each phase among the multi-channel parallel preparation units. The droplet size will also vary, resulting in low dispersion of the double emulsion. In addition, the fluid flow of each phase in the microfluidic device is slow, which often causes "insufficient power" in the phase interface coating and detachment process at the outlet of the unit, which in turn leads to failure of emulsion formation and even channel blockage. Therefore, the uniform distribution of the fluids of each phase and the sufficient power of the droplet generation of the preparation unit are two bottlenecks in the industrial mass production of high-quality double emulsions.

At the same time, the distribution channel of the fractal structure can be greatly reduced. The number of syringe pumps required for mass production of droplets. 4. Add ultraviolet or heating curing device to cure the generated double emulsion into microcapsules, which can expand its application in many fields such as medicine and chemical industry.

上述实施例的具体工作原理为:The concrete working principle of above-mentioned embodiment is:
如图7所示,内相流体4从内相流体供液通道31流入具有分形结构的内相流体分配模块11中,中间相流体5经过中间相流体供液分配模块32分配后,从中间相流体输送通道124充满一级等深度楔形流动截面渐扩结构122和一级变深度纵向突扩阶跃结构123。当内相流体4到达一级乳化模块12时,一级等深度楔形流动截面渐扩结构122使内相流体4与中间相流体5之间的内界面的前端脱离与通道侧壁的接触,且该界面在界面张力的作用下产生向心收缩,促进内相流体4液滴SE(single emulsion)的生长,当内界面前端运动到一级变深度纵向突扩阶跃结构123时,通道深度的纵向突扩使得内界面前端长成半径为rd的灯泡状头部,界面内的压力为pi1,As shown in Figure 7, the internal phase fluid 4 flows into the internal phase
其中,po1为中间相流体的压力,γ为水油两相的界面张力系数。Among them, p o1 is the pressure of the interphase fluid, and γ is the interfacial tension coefficient of the water-oil two-phase.
随着颈部的收缩,颈部压力为pn1,As the neck contracts, the neck pressure is p n1 ,
其中,α为油相与固体内壁面的接触角,h为通道高度,r1为在x-y平面上的曲率半径,r2为在y-z平面上的曲率半径。Among them, α is the contact angle between the oil phase and the solid inner wall, h is the channel height, r 1 is the radius of curvature on the xy plane, and r 2 is the radius of curvature on the yz plane.
颈部压力与灯泡状头部的压力产生了毛细压差Δp=pn1-pi1,引起颈部断裂,生成单液滴6。The pressure in the neck and the pressure in the bulb-shaped head creates a capillary pressure difference Δp=p n1 -p i1 , which causes the neck to break and generate a
生成的单液滴6随着中间相流体5在通道中继续向前流动,外相流体7经过外相流体供液分配模块33分配后,从外相流体输送通道133充满二级等深度楔形流动截面渐扩结构131和二级变深度纵向突扩阶跃结构132。当包裹着单液滴6的中间相流体5到达二级乳化模块13时,中间相流体5与外相流体7之间的外界面会经过与内相流体4相似的过程,从而断裂形成双重乳液8。The generated
