Abstract

Over the past 5 years, interest in the miniaturisation of chemical synthesis has grown rapidly, however in order to facilitate transfer of the technology from its current position as a research tool to industrial applications, a core understanding of the challenges associated with transferring reactions from the macro to the micro domain is required. This paper therefore aims to broach this problem by investigating the application of micro reactors to a range of ...
