LOW DISPERSION, FAST RESPONSE MIXING AND DISPENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A mixing system has a parallel droplet dispenser 37 capable of making droplets 36 of a first working material 36 in the range of 10 nanometers to 10 micrometers, a pump to deliver fluid for the droplets of the first working material 36 and to produce a first emulsion, a compact mixer 38 having low inter-voxel mixing to receive the emulsion and produce a homogenous material, and a dispensing system 39. A method of dispensing a graded material includes generating droplets of a first working material 36 , the droplets having a size in the range of 10 nanometers to 10 micrometers, adding the droplets of the first working material 36 into a fluid 32 to create a first emulsion, wherein addition of the droplets of the first working material 36 is controlled to create gradient in the emulsion, mixing the first emulsion to create a homogenous, graded mixture, and dispensing the homogenous, graded mixture onto a surface.
