Abstract :

[en] Multidisciplinary lab experiments combining microfluidics, nanoparticle synthesis and characterization are presented. These experiments rely on the implementation of affordable yet efficient microfluidic setups based on PFA capillary coils and standard HPLC connectors in upper undergraduate chemistry labs. Fundamental principles and concepts, as well as practical tips for the rapid deployment of microfluidics are presented. In-line membrane separation, segmented-flow regime, high temperature experiments, and in-line analytical techniques are illustrated with the preparation of inorganic nanoparticles (silver, gold, cadmium selenide or telluride) in microreactors. Besides microfluidics, analytical techniques for nanoparticle analysis are also illustrated.
