Fluidic system for high throughput preparation of polymeric microparticles and nanoparticles

Description: This technology encompasses a fiber fluidic system designed for the production of particles, utilizing a cylinder packed with elongated fibers. The system operates by introducing a constrained phase fluid and a free phase fluid through separate openings at one end of the cylinder. These fluids interact along the lengths of the fibers to...

Catalyst Nanoarchitectures for Enhanced Activity and Stability

Description: This innovative method involves heating a non-catalytic metal compound in the presence of a catalytic metal to transform its structure, creating openings where the catalytic metal is then integrated. This process, which can occur in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere, results in a novel nanoarchitecture that significantly enhances the catalytic...
