摘要

The employment of Additive Manufacturing (AM) to produce compact continuous-flow reactors with mixing channels embedded with static mixers that allow advanced mixing capabilities has the potential to redefine many industrial synthetic processes. The freedom of design and the possibility of fabricating complex devices in a simple and inexpensive fashion, unique features of AM, enable the fabrication of highly efficient mesoscale reactors, which will open new avenues in process intensification in continuous-flow reactor engineering. AM techniques available for the production of advanced mesoscale flow reactors are discussed, also outlining benefits of its used in areas such as nanoparticle synthesis and in catalytic applications.
