Prof and team advance low-cost encapsulation tech
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a novel technology that accurately encapsulates core materials and could make important contributions to a wide range of industry applications.
Dr. Sushanta Mitra, executive director of the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology and professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo, and team have built a robust prototype with four injection nozzles that can deliver up to 200,000 encapsulated cargo in an hour for use in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, cosmetic and personal care industries.
