DESCRIPTION:Encapsulation consists in enclosing an internal medium in a so
 lid semi-permeable membrane to protect it and control the exchanges with t
 he environment. Being at the source of innovative applications in the fiel
 ds of biotechnologies\, pharmacology\, or food industry\, capsules offer t
 remendous potential in the process engineering world. But scientific chall
 enges remain to be met\, such as finding the optimal compromise between pa
 yload and membrane thickness\, characterizing the membrane resistance and 
 controlling the moment of rupture.\n\nWe will explore the challenges to us
 e deformable liquid-core capsules of micrometric size to efficiently trans
 port active material\, with a primary focus on health-related applications
 . Being used suspended in a carrying fluid in flow\, microcapsules constit
 ute a formidable problem of complex fluid-structure interactions. I will p
 resent how the three-dimensional capsule-flow interactions may be modeled 
 and how these sophisticated numerical models can dialogue with microfluidi
 c experimentations to produce innovative techniques to characterize the me
 chanical properties of deformable capsules\, sort them upon their rigidity
  or enrich suspensions.\n\nwebinar link: www.cambridge.org/core/journals/j
