Claims27
A method for synthesizing colloidal nanoparticles comprising the step of creating a reactive three-phase foam containing reactants therein for synthesizing the colloidal nanoparticles.
A three-phase reactive foam containing reactants therein for synthesizing colloidal nano-particles.
A microreactor system for synthesizing colloidal nanoparticles comprising
- at least two inlet conduits containing fluids therein, at least two of the fluids being immiscible with each other;
- mixing means in fluid communication with and positioned downstream of the at least two inlet conduits and being configured to mix said immiscible fluids to form a two-phase fluid flow;
- a continuous phase conduit in fluid communication with and positioned downstream of the mixing means for coating the two-phase fluid flow and thereby producing a three-phase fluid flow;
- and
- an outlet conduit positioned downstream of the continuous phase conduit for releasing the three-phase fluid flow;
- wherein the three-phase fluid contains reactants for synthesizing the colloidal nanoparticles.
