Title: Zhou Liu - Innovator in Fluid Mixing Technologies
Introduction
Zhou Liu is a prominent inventor based in Hong Kong, China. He has made significant contributions to the field of fluid mixing technologies, holding a total of 2 patents. His innovative approaches have the potential to revolutionize how highly viscous fluids are mixed and emulsified.
Latest Patents
Zhou Liu's latest patents include a "Method and apparatus for rapid mixing of highly viscous fluids." This invention provides a method and apparatus for mixing highly viscous fluids to form a uniform mixture rapidly. The process utilizes induced viscous fluid folding under the influence of an electric field, which is introduced by connecting a nozzle dispensing the fluids in parallel to a voltage supply and grounding a collection plate located below the nozzle. The application of a specific voltage causes the co-flow viscous fluids to fold, allowing for precise control over the mixture.
Another notable patent is "Stabilized all-aqueous emulsions and methods of making and using thereof." This patent describes methods for preparing stable all-aqueous emulsions, including those with high viscosity and ultra-low interfacial tension. The method involves mixing a first electrically charged phase with a second phase containing a second solute, which are incompatible with each other. The electrostatic forces between the two phases induce the formation of droplets, and the complex coacervation at the interface results in a membrane that prevents coalescence and leakage of encapsulated agents.
