Microfluidic Synthesis of Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications

Increased attention has recently been paid to microfluidics, which display many advantages in the synthesis of nanomaterials. It deserves to be emphasized that microfluidics techniques include the chemical reaction, nanostructure assembly, modification of nanoparticles, and even evaluation of biomedical function. Here, the recent progress in the design principles of microfluidic systems for nanomaterials synthesis is summarized. In addition, microfluidics, on the microscale, expand the synthesis space, precisely controlled nanostructures, and high-throughput fabrication of multifunctional nanoparticles. Microfluidic platforms will open new avenues for the realization of custom-made complex nanostructures and nanomaterials in batch procedures for further biomedical applications.
