Thus, in this work, hyperbranched polyglycerol microcapsules (HPGM) were developed using microfluidic technology. Artificial neural network (ANN) feed-forward using multilayer perceptron architecture was trained and applied to model and predict the microfluidic process. The HPGM produced were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The fabricated HPGM showed spherical size and monomodal distribution with an average diameter of 29 μm. The developed ANN proved to be efficient predictor, showing well agreement with the experimental data (R2=0.9983). Based on these results in this research, it was found that the microfluidic device for producing HPGM was successfully developed since it was possible to synthesize microcapsules with targeted properties, monodispersed with high stability and low porosity. In this way, microfluidic technology guided by ANN can be used to synthesize HPGM for biotechnology processes.854-854openAccessResumo de eventos científicos
