Chemical Applications
7.1 Introduction
In the last decade, lab-on-a-chips (LOC) dedicated to chemical applications have seen a growing interest [1–5]. Many reasons are similar to those already mentioned in the preceding chapters, namely, reduction of the volume of reagents, optimization of the reactions leading to a faster production of desired products with a greater yield and purity, portability of the systems, reduction of waste production; in the case of chemical applications, another advantage of miniaturization is related to the increase of security during the dangerous synthesis by an efficient dissipation of heat generated by exothermic ...
