Droplet-based lab-on-chip platform integrated with laser ablated graphene heaters to synthesize gold nanoparticles for electrochemical sensing and fuel cell applications

“…The droplet based microfluidic devices have been reported to be used for synthesizing magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles 58 , silica microspheres 59 , gold nanorods 60 , silver nanoparticles 10 , and gold nanoparticles 11 using different methods and chemicals. In order to synthesize nanoparticles, temperature is a key factor that effects the size of the nanoparticles.…”

“…Further, temperature control in such devices is necessary for LOC applications such as microfluidic PCR 3 , Electrophoresis 4 , Digital microfluidics 5 , mixing of fluids 6 and protein crystallization 7 etc. In addition, applications involving droplet microfluidics such as colloidal molecules preparation 8 , droplet based PCR devices 9 and droplet based material synthesis 10 , 11 have a great need of thermal management for realizing final outcomes. Also, controlled temperature is extremely critical in droplet microfluidics as the droplet size and shape varies rapidly even with smaller changes in the temperature 12 .…”

The influence of dielectric permittivity of water on the shape of PtNPs synthesized in high-pressure high-temperature microwave reactor

“…aqua regia in the case of gold or platinum. These adverse effects can be eliminated by appropriate modification of the surface of the microreactor channels 30 , 31 .…”

Novel feasibilities for preparation of serum albumin-based core-shell nanoparticles in flow conditions

“…Beside the mentioned well-known protocols, the microfluidic technology provides an alternative strategy for the fabrication of both polymeric and serum albumin NPs. Reviewing the articles in the literature, it can be stated that, while for polymers, several publications summarize the benefits of the flow process like tunable size, structure and surface, narrow size distribution, precisely controlled release profile as well as the possibility of the encapsulation of water-soluble and insoluble drugs [18][19][20][21], but no articles are found relating to the fabrication of core-shell type, drug-loaded albumin-based NPs prepared by microfluidic technique.…”
