COVER STORY
Microreactor Technology as an Innovative Polymer Production Process
In recent years, environmentally friendly and green sustainable technologies have been at the center of much attention all over the world. Among the chemical industrial processes, the microreactor technique should be one promising approach in view of its space and energy saving aspects, as well as highly efficient and selective production of the synthetic targets. This issue features current trends of the microreactor technique in the polymer manufacturing processes. Future perspectives of polymer science based on the microreactor systems will also be discussed.
