Research on continuous synthesis of polymeric nanoparticles was conducted, and a self-aligned coaxial turbulent jet mixer was developed for high-speed continuous synthesis. Using this mixer with polystyrene solution, uniform polymeric NPs can be continuously synthesized and their dispersion stability in aqueous solution can be improved.
Continuous synthesis of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) has been intensively studied due to its great potential to produce NPs with the physicochemical properties of reproducibility and controllability. Here, we developed a self-aligned coaxial turbulent jet mixer for high-speed continuous synthesis of polymeric NPs. The coaxial turbulent jet mixer can be constructed using commercial tube fittings and tubes. Since those fluidic components are self-aligned coaxially, leak-free jet mixers can be assembled without the use of tools or specialized skills in robust manner. Using the jet mixer with polystyrene (PS) solution, uniform polymeric NPs can be synthesized in a fully continuous manner, for which diaphragm pumps and pulsation dampers are used for continuous control of the flow. We also improved the dispersion stability of the PS NPs in aqueous solution against centrifugation by introducing polystyrene-poly (ethylene oxide) diblock copolymer (PS-b-PEO) as steric stabilizer. The NPs prepared using the coaxial turbulent jet mixer were smaller and more uniform in size compared to NPs synthesized by a bulk nanoprecipitation method.
