Project description
Controlling the chemical reactivity and selectivity is important in developing processes the are more sustainable, in reducing side reactions and the generation of waste. Applying external fields to liquids has potential to exquisitely control chemical reactions, but this is not possible using conventional batch processing. We have developed a thin film microfuidic device which has liquids in a rapidly rotating tube under continuous flow conditions, as scalable processing. Electric and magnetic fields can be directed uniformly to the liquid with exciting possibilities in controlling chemistry.

Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
