The Fifth International Conference on Microreaction Technology featured more than 80 oral and poster communications, covering the entire interdisciplinary field from design, production, modelling and characterization of microreactor devices to application of microstructured systems for production, energy and transportation, including many analytical and biological applications.

IMRET 5 featured more than 80 oral and poster communications, covering the entire interdisciplinary field from design, production, modeling and characterization of microreactor devices to application of microstructured systems for production, energy and transportation, including many analytical and biological applications. A particularly strong topic was the investigation of the potential of microstructuring of reactors and systems components for process intensification. Perspectives of combining local, in situ, data acquisition with appropriate microstructuring of actuators and components...
