MESOSCALE CHEMICAL SYSTEMS
In physics and chemistry the mesoscopic scale is the length scale at which one can reasonably discuss material properties or phenomena without having to discuss individual atom behaviour. Applied research at this scale is covered by the fields of nanotechnology and microtechnology (including microsystem technology, MST, micro electromechanical systems, MEMS, and microreaction technology).
The aim of the research group Mesoscale Chemical Systems is to study the behaviour and control of fluids, including miscible and immiscible liquids, gases and two-phase gas-liquid systems and of the chemical species contained in these fluids in a confined environment and more specifically, near plain, nanostructured and/or reactive surfaces and interfaces. The group is a very active user of the NanoLab clean room facilities and collaborates with many of the groups participating in the nanotechnology research institute MESA+
MCS is one of the four research groups in the domain Catalytic Systems & Micro-devices, within the Faculty Science and Technology. This domain highlights the collaborations with microfluidics colleagues in the group Soft Matter, Fluidics and Interfaces (SFI) lead by Prof. Lammertink and catalysis colleagues in the groups Catalytic Processes and Materials headed by prof. Lefferts and Photo-catalytic Fuel Synthesis (PCS) headed by Prof. Mul.
