What Materials are Used for Microchannel Structures?
Microchannel structures can be fabricated from a variety of materials depending on the application. Common materials include: - Metals: Stainless steel and other alloys for high-temperature and high-pressure reactions. - Ceramics: For reactions requiring high thermal stability. - Polymers: For low-temperature applications and ease of manufacturing. - Silicon: Frequently used in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) due to its precision in microfabrication.
