Monolithic and Flexible Polyimide Film Microreactors for Organic Microchemical Applications Fabricated by Laser Ablation

Novel Organic Synthesis through Ultrafast Chemistry

“…[6] This reactor was constructed in alayer approach where different layers of fluoroethylene-propylene-polyimide films were patterned by UV laser ablation and then thermally bonded together. [7,8] At otal flow rate of 4.5 mL min À1 led to ar esidence time of approximately 0.33 ms.…”

Hydrodynamic and electrodynamic flow mixing in a novel total glass chip mixer with streamline herringbone pattern

“…Effective mixing is important not only in chemical and biochemical reaction engineering (Gao et al 2014;Min et al 2010) but also in an analytical detection system (Al Lawati et al 2014Lawati et al , 2010Huang and Ren 2006;Liu et al 2014), especially in a microfluidic chip or lab on a chip system (Al Lawati et al 2014;Lee et al 2011;Manz et al 1990). The characteristic dimension of a microfluidic system is typically in μm scale, which is beneficial to fast diffusive mixing.…”

Synthesis of highly transparent and thermally stable copolyimide with fluorine‐containing dianhydride and alicyclic dianhydride

“…The most familiar PIs including Kapton and Upilex, were developed by Du Pont in the 1960s and Ube Industrial in the 1980s, respectively. Up to now, PIs have been applied widely in engineering fields due to its excellent comprehensive properties, such as outstanding thermostability, tunable thermal expansion behavior, good mechanical performance, and superior electrical/insulating properties …”
