Click Chemistry

The philosophical modification of click chemistry should be incorporated into the discussion. It is obvious that Sharpless's click chemistry is really a branch of microreactor chemistry. That is, microreactors are there to run modified click chemistry reactions. (DR)

Market Structure section needs reworking

The Market Structure section is hard to follow. Needs rewording by someone who understands the field. Dougher 23:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

That section is hard to fix without entering the terrain of Original Research. The few people (in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry) that know the hard facts will not reveal them, and so this section has to rely heavily on speculation. After all, if there is a market, it is in the future, since the sales figures today are, at best, low. --DrTorstenHenning 06:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Its hard to rework the market structure without getting too close to P.R. I'm in the research field since 10 years and the market is not really competitive. Each company has its own niche, most companies are starving. Nevertheless, there is a lot of research done, quite some good conferences each year and even the Japanese spend millions of Euros on it after sitting for more than 10 years in conferences, only listening. I'm really thinking to write a "guide to select the right type of reactor/device" from a strict scientific point of view. Thats something noone would ever publish in a review article.

Exponent usage in ChE; need for expert help

The convention in ChemEng is to use negative exponents rather than a slash character -- see, e.g. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jabout/112140232/2451_notice.html?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0

Also, regarding the need for expert help as requested on the main page and here: I'm not a ChemEng, but I've been intensively studying the field of microreactors for nearly a year, including a fairly exhaustive literature survey (at Stanford University), Ehrfeld & Hessel's books, and am the founder of a company in Silicon Valley which is designing microreactors. I'll do what I can. ;-) A Doon 15:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

But this is chemistry not chem eng - you won't find many organic chemists who use negative exponents. --Patricksears 17:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

External links

This article is slowly degrading to a directory of microreactor manufacturers and dealers. At some point I will take the liberty of trashing the Commercial Suppliers subsection, unless there are any objections. --DrTorstenHenning 08:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Why are these points listet twice in the link section?:

• Bhangale, Atul. "Enzyme-Catalyzed Polymerization of End-Functionalized Polymers in a Microreactor". Macromolecules.
