Abstract: | Ceramic microreactors can be used for applications that cannot be covered by metal or polymer systems, because special material
properties, such as high thermal and chemical resistance are required. However, application of ceramic microcomponents often
fails due to the time-consuming and costly manufacturing of components with patterning details in the micrometer range. A
promising solution to this problem is a rapid prototyping process chain. It offers a fast and precise fabrication of ceramic
components down to the micrometer range by combining stereolithography and low-pressure ceramic injection molding. Its fast
and flexible tooling allows rapid product development and manufacturing of ceramic components as functional models or in small
series. For use in chemical microreaction technology, a modular ceramic microreactor with inner dimensions in the sub-millimeter
range has now been developed by means of this process chain. |
