Micro Process Technology

This handbook covers the fundamentals on the design of micro process devices and their microfluidics, including their use for production or as laboratory tools, their fabrication technology and their characterisation, as well as their integration and functionalisation. Focusing on production cost improvements, safety, energy and reducing the environmental impact throughout each step of the process, the book discusses how this technology can aid in finding solutions for global challenges, such as energy generation and storage, synthesizing new materials with new properties and improved products, plus such economic aspects as the market, new products and supply chain management.
