High internal phase emulsion as reaction medium for precipitating brushite crystals

This present work was aimed at fabrication of brushite crystals using oil-in-water high internal phase emulsion as a reaction medium. The oil phase of more than 75 wt. was dispersed in the continuous aqueous phase. Due to the high oil volume fraction, the oil droplets were no longer spherical but we...
