Microstructured reactors (MSRs) are especially indicated for highly demanding heterogeneous catalysis due to the small channel dimensions that minimize diffusional limitations and enhance mass and heat transport between ...

Bacterial infections are a public health threat of increasing concern in medical care systems; hence, the search for novel strategies to lower the use of antibiotics and their harmful effects becomes imperative. Herein, ...

We present a simple, versatile and low-cost approach for the preparation of SERS-active regions within a microfluidic channel 50 cm in length. The approach involves the UV-light-driven formation of polyoxometalate-decorated ...

In this work, we study alveolar-like microfluidic devices with a horizontal membrane arrangement that demonstrate a great potential as small-scale blood oxygenator. The design criteria for the fabricated devices were to ...

The use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as templates or precursors in the manufacture of heterogeneous catalysts is highly attractive due to the transfer of MOFs’ inherent porosity and homogeneous metallic distribution ...

Durable and wear resistant polypropylene surfaces with static contact angle (SCA) above 140° have been fabricated using standard photolithographic process and O2 plasma etching followed by thermal annealing at 100 °C. This ...
