To study the influence of solidification rates of double emulsions on the sphericity of the resulting poly(α-methyl styrene)(PAMS)capsules in the microencapsulation process of PAMS capsules
the diffusion rates of fluorobenzene from oil phase to outer water phase under different conditions were experimentally measured
and the curing process of double emulsions under corresponding curing conditions were investigated.The results showed that the concentration of fluorobenzene in the outer water phase had a significant effect on the diffusion rate of fluorobenzene
which directly determined the solidification rate of double emulsions and then the sphericity of the resulting PAMS capsules.During the key phase of the solidification process of double emulsions
keeping proper concentrations of fluorobenzene in the outer water phase could remarkably reduce the solidification rate of double emulsions and consequently improve the sphericity of PAMS capsules.By optimizing the concentration of fluorobenzene in the outer water phase
the batch percentages of PAMS capsules with out-of-round less than 1 μm increased from 1.9% to 30.4%.
