Process Intensification (PI) is an aspect of Chemical Engineering devoted to the 5 design of new processes and techniques to reduce equipment size for more efficient product output. This thesis reports the first investigation directed at establishing whether ink jet printing (UP) technology can be adapted for downscaling the direct reactive processing of polyurethanes (PU). Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM) technology represents an important step in downscaling so that a brief exploration of the RIM approach was undertaken first to identify PI features relevant to UP technology.
