Pushing nanomaterials up to the kilogram scale – An accelerated approach for synthesizing antimicrobial ZnO with high shear reactors, machine learning and high-throughput analysis

Novel materials are the backbone of major technological advances. However, the development and wide-scale introduction of new materials, such as nanomaterials, is limited by three main factors—the expense of experiments, inefficiency of synthesis methods and complexity of scale-up. Reaching the kilogram scale is a hurdle that takes years of...
