This expedited exploratory engineering research study will evaluate the         feasibility of utilizing a novel method to form stable                          hemoglobin-in-oil-aqueous-saline-solution (Hb/o/w) multiple emulsions           for use as an artiffical blood.  With the development of this                   methodolgy, a concentrated hemoglobin solution will be emulsified in a          suitable nontoxic oil phase, followed by dispersion of the primary              emulsion into an outer aqueous phase, containing suitable nontoxic              surfactant to form the multiple emulsion.  The size of the                      microdroplets, the stability and thickness of the oil interfacial               membrane enveloping the microdroplets, and the size of the primary              emulsion droplets will be controlled to achieve rapid mass transfer of          oxygen.  The stability of the interfacial layer (i.e., a type of liquid         membrane) will be assessed by measuring interfacial rheological                 properties.
