Mechanisms of Forming Hollow Microspheres from Solid Granules

Abstract

Problems in fabrication of large-size hollow microspheres with specific properties and ideal geometric parameters for inertial confinement fusion and other applications require profound knowledge of their formation processes. In this work, we analyze experimentally and analytically the formation of hollow microspheres from solid spherical granules by high-temperature foaming and formulate the conditions for fabrication of microcapsules with high parameters in high-temperature processes.
