Reactive Spraying

Reactive Spraying is an essential component in Chemical Engineering. It involves reactions between dispersed phases and the resulting gas phase particle synthesis.

Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) is one of the most important processes in this category. In FSP, an organic precursor is atomized and reacted to form a self-sustaining flame which leads to the synthesis of highly disperse products. Atomization, reaction kinetics, nucleation, coagulation, and condensation in multiphase flows are important mechanisms governing these processes.

We have nearly 10 years of experience in this area, starting from its conceptional idea and design, which enables us to synthesize innovative, tailor-made nanoparticles and nanostructured surfaces. From this work, we have collaborated with leading research groups and industry in Germany, Europe, the USA and Australia.

Such tailor-made materials and functional surfaces have applications as catalysts, gas sensors, multifunctional fillers (dental materials), optical materials and flexible electronic devices. We are further developing nanomaterials with well-defined properties to investigate nano-bio-interactions in many collaborative projects.

Our research is well reflected in our teaching programs:
