title: An approach to prepare microparticles of uniform size.
abstract: A novel emulsification method which employs a glass membrane of controlled pore size was adopted to prepare various types of microparticles. The microparticles thus obtained were uniform in size and the procedure proved applicable to a wide variety of microencapsulation processes. Furthermore, the particle size could be controlled by selecting preparative conditions.
