Tiny blue 3D
printed microreactor saves time.
Not exact matches
3D printers are not hard to find, and
printing one
microreactor at a time takes about an hour.
The challenge was to find a suitable platform on top of which the
microreactor could be
printed.
In order to place the stir bar and the nanoelectrospray needle in the
microreactor the
printing process needs to be interrupted, and then resumed.
OSU scientists have solved that problem by using a
microreactor to create silver nanoparticles at room temperatures without any protective coating, and then immediately
printing them onto almost any substrate with a continuous flow process.
