Monitoring the Capillary Jet Breakage by Vibration Using a Fast-Video Camera

The production of beads by simple extrusion dropwise of an alginate solution in a calcium bath is a simple method. It may be done at room temperature without any toxic compound. However, simple extrusion drop by drop from a needle may result in large capsules and a low flow rate. The solution must b...
