Abstract

Microstructured devices are finding ever more innovative applications in chemical synthesis and chemical engineering. 1 A key feature of such devices is their increased surface area-to-volume ratio which is a direct result of their decrease in physical size. Specific surfaces of microstructured devices can be as high as 50 000 m 2 m −3 whereas conventional laboratory apparatus does not usually exceed 1000 m 2 m −3 . A consequence of this increase in ...
