A continuous production device and method for a silane-modified sealing material are provided. The device includes a twin screw extruder set, a cooling unit, and a static mixing unit; where the twin screw extruder set includes at least two twin screw extruders in series, each of which is provided with at least two inlets and at least one vacuum port, the cooling unit is disposed between last two stages of the twin screw extruders, and an outlet of a last-stage twin screw extruder is connected to the static mixing unit. Through the arrangement of various units of the device and their positional relations, components can be mixed in sequence or added in stages, so as to adapt to the characteristics of each component; a heat stabilizer and a polymer are added together as raw materials, which can increase the temperature for dehydration and avoid thermal decomposition of the polymer, and they cooperate with a dehydrant to make water in the system easier to remove; and the device has high operation flexibility and can adapt to the requirement of variability of a formulation of the silane-modified sealing material.

Provided in one implementation is a method that includes introducing a volume of raw material into a chamber of a cavitation machine. The raw material can include a mixture comprising a powder and a solvent. The powder can have a first average particle size in the raw material. The method includes applying a hydrodynamic cavitation process to the raw material to produce a product material. The powder can have a second average particle size, smaller than the first average particle size, in the product material. The method includes causing the product material to exit the cavitation chamber and drying the product material to remove the solvent. Apparatus employed to apply the method are also provided.

The current invention concerns a method for preparing an emulsion comprising the steps: mixing a first phase and a second phase in a layer multiplier to produce a multilayered fluid structure, and collapsing said multilayered fluid structure, thereby dispersing the second phase in the first phase creating an emulsion. The current invention relates to a method for producing dispersions. The current invention also concerns the emulsions produced by said method. The current method also relates to polymer emulsions, particularly polyisobutene emulsions with a high content of polyisobutene.

Methods of forming a foam including a tobacco ingredient containing agent and/or an inhalable agent, an aerosol forming agent, a foam stabilizing agent, and a foam forming agent are provided, along with a foam produced by the methods, and foams with a certain aeration, for example of at least 4 vol. % based on the total volume of the foam.

This disclosure relates to methods of super-cooling of aqueous samples with or without biological samples. The methods involve, e.g., providing a container comprising the aqueous sample; applying an immiscible liquid phase of sufficient thickness to separate the aqueous sample from air; and cooling the aqueous sample to a temperature that is below 0 C.
