Current scenario and prospects in manufacture strategies for glass, quartz, polymers and metallic microreactors: A comprehensive review

One of the most remarkable benefits microreactors is achievement more efficient processes by enhancing heat and mass transfer phenomena, which key factor for intensification in chemical reactions, resulting higher conversion, selectivity yield towards desired products. Currently, entire scenario microreaction approach an emergent technology further advances are ongoing. Several strategies have been successfully applied structuring that imply fixation catalysts on microreactors. However, there features such as physicochemical stability coatings under reaction conditions must be improved, motivating search new protocols. This review provides a general overview important methodologies glass, quartz, polymers metals manufacture their coating, analyzing advantages drawbacks every procedure. Furthermore, outline novel insights based additive manufacturing techniques described.
