The double emulsions are potentially useful in any application where a product needs to be shielded from its surroundings for a period of time before being delivered.</p> <p><a href="http://harvardscience.harvard.edu/engineering-technology/articles/drops-drops-hold-practical-promise">read more</a></p> Tue, 24 Jul 2007 14:11:41 -0400 50443248 4561 at http://harvardscience.harvard.edu
