Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
By virtue of their many unique merits, such as low cost, high throughput, low sample consumption, high flexibility, and precise spatiotemporal control, microscale reactors have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades. The emergence of microscale reactors not only brings new opportunities for engineering of micro-/nanomaterials with more controllable properties but also significantly advances their application potential in diverse fields. To date, passive and active microreactors have been widely employed for process intensification toward advanced chemical engineering, environment science, and biomedical engineering.
This Special Issue of Micromachines aims to gather review papers, short communications, and original research articles that cover all aspects of microscale reactors. Specifically, we invite contributions on, but not limited to, the following topics: 1) microfluidic and nanofluidic reactors for engineering of chemicals and relevant numerical simulation studies; 2) acoustofluidic reactors for chemical engineering, environment science, and biomedical engineering; 3) advanced microreactor fabrication techniques toward rational design of micro-/nanomaterials; 4) design, fabrication, and applications of 3D-printed microreactors; 5) design, fabrication, and applications of paper microreactors; 6) theoretical studies for exploring the relationship between microchannel geometries and mixing intensification.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
