  1. Efficiency of Microencapsulation In microgravity as compared to Gravity Principal Investigator: Brandon Gligor

  2. Microencapsulation in Microgravity • Mentors at AVEKA, Inc. • Dr. Willie Hendrickson (founder and C.E.O.) • Dr. Christopher Rueb (director of R&D) • Ciprofloxacin & Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) • Hypothesis: Microencapsulation in microgravity will • be more efficient • have less agglomeration

  3. Choice of Concentration for Flight Ciprofloxacin to PVP1:1 1:4 6150x 6050x SEM images from AVEKA, Inc. PARTICLE PROCESSING & CUSTOM RESEARCH

  4. Chosen Experiment • Chosen Concentration • Ciprofloxacin to PVP 1 to 2.5 • Samples flown • 4% aqueous solution of ciprofloxacin • 10% aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone

  5. Supernatant Liquid GROUND-TRUTH MICROGRAVITY 3800x 6550x SEM images from AVEKA, Inc. PARTICLE PROCESSING & CUSTOM RESEARCH
