Abstract

Work at the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute on hollow microsphere technology started more than twenty years ago, based on the commercial technology developed in our country, on the experience of our colleagues involved in chemistry research, and on our knowledge of physics and hydrodynamics. We have developed new methods of hollow shell fabrication using a complex of universal installations for making shells of polymers, glass, and metals; equipment for shell characterization; and employing mathematical modeling of shell formation processes. Using these facilities and methods, the physical processes involved in the various hollow microsphere fabrication regimes are studied both experimentally and theoretically.
