Physico-chemical and mass transfer considerations in microencapsulation.
To gain better insight into mass transfer problems in encapsulated cell systems requires a combination of experimental investigations and mathematical modeling. Specific mass transfer studies are reviewed including oxygen transfer in immobilized animal cell culture bioreactors, modeling of polymer droplet formation and encapsulated animal cell growth, and growth of somatic tissue encapsulated in alginate using electrostatics. Special emphasis is given to electrostatic droplet generation for cell immobilization.
