Structural Design of a Nanogel Reaction Device with Emphasis on Temperature-Field Uniformity

Thermosensitive nanogels are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, making precise thermal control critical for uniform particle formation and consistent product quality. This study introduces a TRIZ-guided reactor design that integrates material-level self-feedback heating with structurally homogenized heat transfer, shifting temperature regulation from conventional multi-point feedback to intrinsic physical adaptation. Experimental evaluation demonstrated that the optimized system reduced the maximum temperature difference from 6.5 °C to 3.2 °C and decreased the standard deviation from 3.9 °C to 1.8 °C, resulting in improved reaction stability. Correspondingly, monomer conversion increased from 90% to 95%, and the particle size distribution narrowed, with PDI decreasing from 0.32 to 0.18. The energy consumption per unit mass of reactant also decreased from 3.6 kJ·g^-1 to 2.5 kJ·g^-1. These results indicate that the TRIZ-based self-feedback approach effectively enhances temperature uniformity, reaction control, and energy efficiency, providing a transferable strategy for temperature-sensitive polymerization and nanomaterial synthesis.
