Microjet homogenizer is a precision equipment that uses high-pressure microjet technology for homogenization. It uses mature and stable hydraulic technology to pressurize the liquid material under the action of the plunger pump, so that the material pressure is pressurized to a pressure value set between 20Mpa and 600Mpa. The pressurized material flows to a microchannel made of diamond (or ceramic) with a fixed geometry, and generates a high-speed microjet. High-speed microjet materials produce physical forces such as physical shearing, collision, and cavitation effects under specific geometric channels, thereby emulsifying and homogenizing the materials, effectively reducing the particle size to the nanometer level, and distributing it evenly Dispersion effect.
Application of microjet homogenizer in nanomaterial preparation
1. Dispersion of carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes are widely used in energy storage, composite materials, nanoelectronics and other fields due to their superior mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. However, the high aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes and the van der Waals force between them make it easy to form tube bundles, thus affecting their dispersion and application effects. The microjet homogenizer can effectively disperse carbon nanotube bundles into independent carbon nanotube units through high-pressure microjet technology. Research shows that after one hour of treatment, single-walled carbon nanotubes with an average length of 700nm and an average diameter of 20nm can be obtained. This technology not only improves the dispersion of carbon nanotubes, but also maintains their original properties.
2. Preparation of nanocellulose
Nanocellulose, as a high-performance nanomaterial, has broad application prospects. During the preparation process of nanocellulose, the microjet homogenizer can effectively tear cellulose fibers into nanometer-level fibers through high-pressure homogenization, thereby improving the yield and quality of nanocellulose. This method has significant advantages due to its low energy consumption, simple equipment requirements, better dispersion in water, and ability to be dissolved in water again after drying.
3. Preparation of liposomes and other nanomedicines
Liposomes are bilayer closed vesicles composed of amphiphilic substances such as phospholipids, which can encapsulate and transport functional ingredients and effectively exert their sustained and controlled release effects. The microjet homogenizer uses high-pressure microjet technology to wrap active ingredients in phospholipids to form nanoscale liposomes. This method can not only improve the stability and bioavailability of the drug, but also control the release rate and release site of the drug, thereby improving the efficacy of the drug.
