Our Technology

Microreactor-Assisted Nanomaterial Deposition (MAND) is a promising platform for nanomaterial synthesis that controls growth and nucleation parameters and fabricates reactive fluxes and nanomaterials to deposit nanostructured materials with distinct morphologies, structures, and properties at the point of use. Microreactor technologies offer large surface-area-to-volume ratios to accelerate heat and mass transport, allowing for rapid changes in reaction conditions and more uniform heating and mixing. It overcomes the scale-up barrier via process intensification at the microscale, and provides precise control over heat, mass, and momentum transport using well-defined microstructures of the reactor cell that can be numbered up at large scales for high throughput applications, opening the door towards a new avenue of scalable nanomanufacturing. Furthermore, the ability to synthesize nanomaterials in precise volumes at the point of interest eliminates the need to store and transport potentially hazardous materials and leads to low material waste and footprint
