Abstract

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) Microsystem technology have a relevant role in the miniaturization of Chemical Processes area. Microfluidic devices have been applied to carry out several chemical processes operations, including mixing, separation, chemical reactions, heterogeneous catalysis, heat exchange and so on. More recently, LTCC microfluidic systems are employed to produce micro and nanoparticles with excellent control of size distribution, morphology and constitution. The present work reports the development of a LTCC Micro Spray Dryer for Micro and Nanoparticle fabrication showing simulation results and experimental work.
