Volker Hessel has been active in flow chemistry since 1994. He brought the idea from the “high p,T” processing into the lab-scale life and later successfully into the industrial scale. He has published several textbooks which are in world-wide use as basics for micro-flow research and also for advanced teaching.
The 2016 IUPAC ThalesNano Prize will be presented at the 14th international conference on microreaction technology in Beijing on 14 September 2016.
