Microfluidics Technique Mass-Produces Platinum Nanoparticles

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
LOS ANGELES, March 1, 2016 — A technique for producing nanoparticles that relies on microfluidics — the manipulation of tiny fluid droplets in narrow channels — shows promise for transforming expensive, batch-by-batch nanoparticle production into large-scale automated assembly. Nanoparticles are found in technologies ranging from drug delivery to automobile pollution controls to HD TV sets. With their tiny size and subsequently increased surface area, they're critical to industry and scientific research. Nanoparticles form in a 3D-printed microfluidic channel. Each droplet shown here is about 250 μm...Read full article

    microfluidics
    Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the manipulation and control of very small fluid volumes, typically in the microliter (10-6 liters) to picoliter (10-12 liters) range, within channels or devices with dimensions on the microscale. It integrates principles from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biotechnology to design and fabricate systems that handle and analyze fluids at the micro level. Key features and aspects of microfluidics include: Miniaturization:...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
