Flow-through microreactors are described, constructed of fused silica capillaries with an internal diameter of 100 μm and glass microchips with a channel dimension of 150 μm and involving the in situ UV-initiated synthesis of a poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) porous polymer monolith. The monolith is a continuous material covalently bonded to the capillary or chip walls, with good flow-through properties. Epoxide ring-opening through amine attack by 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline and coordination to dichloropalladium(ii) allows use of the microreactors for Suzuki–Miyaura catalysis. The long-term stability and reliability of the robust chip microreactor is demonstrated by operation for 96 h, exhibiting undiminished reactivity, and very low leaching of palladium.

A functionalized calix[4]arene (alkenyl@C[4]A) was introduced into the poly(butyl methacrylate-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith inside a capillary to prepare a polymer monolith microextraction (PMME) material (poly(BMA-alkenyl@C[4]A-EDMA)).

A method is described for the fabrication of multipath electrospray emitters using hydrophobic porous polymer membranes. Polysulphone (PSF) and polycarbonate (PC) membranes, which possess pores with well-defined sizes, are glued onto the exit aperture of fused-silica capillaries or microfluidic chips to create multipaths to assist electrospray at moderate nano flow rates (e.g., 50–500 nL/min). A capillary-based multipath emitter fabricated with either PSF or PC membranes was prepared with a fused-silica capillary with 75 µm inner diameter and 360 µm outer diameter. Relative effects on electrospray performance at different flow rates, electrospray voltages, and solvent compositions are probed. The sensitivity and stability of electrospray signals were enhanced through spraying from multiple pores on the membrane. An embossed polycarbonate microchip was also interfaced to the mass spectrometer using the meso porous membrane approach.Key words: nanoelectrospray, membrane, emitter, multipaths, microchip.

This paper presents the visualization results obtained for an experimental study of R134a during flow boiling in a horizontal microchannel. The microchannel used was a fused silica tube having an internal diameter of 781 μm, a heated length of 191 mm, and was coated with a thin, transparent, and electrically conductive layer of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) on the outer surface. The operating parameters during the experiments were: mass flux 100–400 kg/m2 s, heat flux 5–45 kW/m2, saturation temperatures 25 and 30 °C, corresponding to saturation pressures of 6.65 bar and 7.70 bar and reduced pressures of 0.163 and 0.189, respectively. A high speed camera with a close up lens was used to capture the flow patterns that evolved along the channel. Flow pattern maps are presented in terms of the superficial gas and liquid velocity and in terms of the Reynolds number and vapor quality plots. The results are compared with some flow pattern maps for conventional and micro scale channels available in the literature. Rigorous boiling and increased coalescence rates were observed with an increase in the heat flux.
