Researchers of the University of Twente's MESA+ research institute have developed a new type of microreactor allowing for the targeted observation of chemical reactions by means of an electric field. The tiny reactor enables one to follow the reaction through the use of infrared spectroscopy, providing the researchers with an improved fundamental insight into the reaction and allowing them to determine the optimum process conditions. Arturo Susarrey-Arce will defend his doctoral thesis on 11 April.
