The formation of microcapsules with a nano-sized TiO2 core in a shell from poly(ethylene
glycol) is studied. The microcapsules are formed during the expansion of pulsed
supersonic jet of TiO2 suspension in supercritical solution of poly(ethylene glycol)
(PEG 8000) in CO2 into the chamber containing a background gas (He) (duration of
impulse — 400 μs). The effect of the background gas pressure in the expansion chamber
onto the size microcapsules and their structure is investigated. The upper and lower
limits of the background gas pressure within which microcapsules with a relatively
high content of TiO2 nanoparticles are determined.
