| As nanomaterials are becoming increasingly
sought after material for advanced technological applications the
investigation of suitable up-scale processes for nanoparticle
production is currently an important challenge. So-called
microemulsions have been used on a laboratory scale to produce nanosize
particles with a narrow size distribution. An technical up-scaling of
this process has been started at the Max-Planck-Institute Magdeburg. I
will give an introduction into this research and show some first
experimental results where we expecially investigate suitable process
conditions and sensitive process parameters to influence and control
desired particle properties like size, shape and size distribution. In
order to speed up the process development Monte-Carlo simulations for
the particle precipitation in a microemulsion have been carried out.
These simulations will help to understand the underlying dynamics of
this process and will be used for a corresponding process control. |
