ABSTRACT
Microreactors have recently gained significant interests as novel tools for producing different types of nanomaterials for a variety of applications in chemical industries, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. In this chapter, we 24describe the current development of microreactor-assisted chemical processes for controlled synthesis and assembly of inorganic and inorganic–organic hybrid nanomaterials, including single-phase nanoparticles of unary, binary, and ternary materials; core–shell nanoparticles; assembly of nanoparticles; and the deposition of nano- and microstructured thin films. Some of the advantages (or issues) comparing to batch chemical reactors are also discussed, along with opportunities for large-scale applications.
