This project combines expertise in different areas of engineering towards one of the main current scientific challenges: the large-scale production of nanoparticles to enable their implementation in areas of drug delivery, sensors, healthcare and bio-imaging, catalysis, energy storage, water treatment, etc.The discovery of the unique chemical and physical properties of particles with nanometre sizes and their potential applications is slowly transforming our world. However, their large-scale manufacturing is still in its infancy with an urgent need for a manufacturing technology capable of the continuous production of nanoparticles, overcoming the current limitations associated with size control and agglomeration. In this project we plan to combine experience in reaction engineering and catalysis (Torrente, Bath), fluid flow control (Sharma, Southampton) and advanced materials characterization (Haigh, Manchester). Uniting different expertise and research interests will enable us to identify alternative approaches to overcoming current challenges in the micro-reactor field.

该项目将工程不同领域的专业知识结合到了当前主要的科学挑战之一：纳米颗粒的大规模生产能够在药物输送，传感器，医疗保健和生物成像，催化，能源存储，水处理，水处理中实施其实施等等。发现具有纳米大小及其潜在应用的颗粒的独特化学和物理特性正在缓慢地改变我们的世界。但是，他们的大规模制造仍处于起步阶段，迫切需要能够连续生产纳米颗粒的制造技术，从而克服了与尺寸控制和凝聚有关的当前限制。在这个项目中，我们计划结合反应工程和催化学（Torrente，Bath），流体流量控制（Sharma，Southampton）和高级材料表征（曼彻斯特海哈）的经验。团结不同的专业知识和研究兴趣将使我们能够确定克服微反应领域中当前挑战的替代方法。
