Journal Article
Le, T. N. Q., Lim, C. N., Fisk, I., Tran, N. N., Hessel, V., & Robertson, K. (2025). Sustainable fertiliser mesh, ‘4D’-precision engineered by flow chemistry: minimising agrochemical pollution. Green Chemistry, 27(3), 696-715. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4gc04833d

Flow chemistry is best when opening “novel process windows”, and one of six NPW paths is “new chemical transformations”. Flow chemistry has a large impact on syntheses which are particularly mixing-sensitive. Here we exploit the NPW offered by flow c...
