Development of micromixer-based chemical reactors

The proposed research work is focused on the development of  micromixer based reactors for colloidal particles fabrication. Computational fluid modeling is used to guide the design of reactors enabling efficient mixing of reactants on the microscale. The best designs identified are fabricated using advanced methodologies including soft-lithography and 3D printing. The mixers are characterized using optical imaging and morphological/compositional characterization of their products.
