MBI at the Forefront of Advances in Microchannel Technology

Read the April 1, 2011, issue of Nanowerk.com to learn about advances in surface-mount adhesives in the production of low-temperature, microchannel heat exchangers that will make this promising technology much less expensive for many commercial applications.

"Even though microchannel arrays have enormous potential for more efficient heat transfer and chemical reactions, high production costs have so far held back the broad, mainstream use of the technology," said Brian Paul, a professor in the OSU School of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering." Paul is also Associate Director of the MBI.
