Abstract

This review explores recent advancements in microfluidic crystallization techniques utilizing energy from external sources on a small scale. We focus on four representative types of external sources: ultrasound, laser, microwave, and electric field, emphasizing their impact on crystal formation. This highlights the benefits of using external sources in crystallization, such as improved crystal quality, structure formation, and changes in physical properties. Providing a comprehensive overview of crystallization techniques employing external sources, the paper discusses the potential developments in the field of crystallization through the application of these external energy sources.

본 논문에서는 미세유체장치 기반 외부 자극에 의한 결정화 기술의 최근 발전에 대해 탐구한다. 초음파, 레이저, 마이크로파, 전기장과 같은 대표적인 네 가지 결정화 기법인 외부 자극의 종류에 대해 중점을 두어 외부 자극이 결정 성장에 미치는 영향을 강조한다. 결정 품질 향상, 구조 형성, 물리적 특성 변화 등의 이점을 강조하며 외부 자극을 통한 결정화(external-source-induced crystallization) 기술에 대한 포괄적인 개요를 제공하고 잠재적인 발전 가능성에 대해 논의한다.
