Abstract
In various embodiments, a microreactor features a corrosion-resistant microchannel network encased within a thermally conductive matrix material that may define therewithin one or more hollow heat-exchange conduits.
Claims20
A method of fabricating a microreactor, the method comprising:
- forming, by an additive manufacturing technique, a network of hollow microchannel conduits from a corrosion-resistant material;
- and
- thereafter, surrounding the network of microchannel conduits with a matrix material having a thermal conductivity larger than a thermal conductivity of the corrosion-resistant material.
A method of fabricating a microreactor, the method comprising:
- providing a network of hollow microchannel conduits from a corrosion-resistant material;
- and
- thereafter, by an additive manufacturing technique, surrounding the network of microchannel conduits with a matrix material having a thermal conductivity larger than a thermal conductivity of the corrosion-resistant material.
A method of fabricating a microreactor, the method comprising:
- providing a network of hollow microchannel conduits from a corrosion-resistant material, wherein at least one opening in the microchannel network is sealed;
- surrounding the network of microchannel conduits with a matrix material having a thermal conductivity larger than a thermal conductivity of the corrosion-resistant material;
- and
- thereafter, unsealing the at least one sealed opening.
