A parallel solution combustion synthesis technique was developed for combinatorial materials studies. The vigorous combustion reactions were successfully limited in the microreactors by using a substrate-net-mask microreactor system and the lowest adoptable furnace temperature. Using this technique, a luminescent materials library of Y3Al5O12/Tb(chi) was synthesized with the aid of an ink-jet d...

The paper demonstrates the potential of interferometry as a visualization technique for studying mixing processes liquid reagents in continuous-flow microreactors. We visualized two types instabilities: double-diffusion convection and Marangoni soluto-capillary convection. employed optical schemes, depending on how large values refractive index inhomogeneities resulting from instabilities neede...

Experiments, i.e. micro-PIV and flow visualization, direct numerical simulations, are used jointly to investigate how stratification affects mixing chemical reaction in a T-shaped microreactor fed with two miscible liquids exhibiting small density difference. The work analyzes the dependence of degree on Reynolds number correlates yield Damk\"ohler help devise strategies for practical operation...
