The recent development of microfluidic devices offers several advantages over conventional macroscale processes: enhancement of mass and heat transfer, reproducibility, potential for sensor integration for in situ reaction monitoring, rapid screening of parameters, and low reagent consumption during optimization. Developing microreactors which are pressure & temperature resistant (e.g. 10
