Abstract
This paper describes the complementary nature of microscale chemistry and green chemistry. Green chemistry emphasizes the concepts of atom economy, source reduction, pathway modification, solvent substitution, and pollution prevention as means of improving the environmental impact of industrial chemistry. Microscale chemistry serves as a tool for incorporating green chemistry ideas across the curriculum in educational institutions. Examples are drawn from microscale laboratory experiments to illustrate the pedagogic connection between the two areas.

The Cyclohexanol Cycle and Synthesis of Nylon 6,6: Green Chemistry in the Undergraduate Organic Laboratory
Matthew R. Dintzner, Charles R. Kinzie, Kimberly Pulkrabek, and Anthony F. ArenaJournal of Chemical Education2012 89 (2), 262-264The Cyclohexanol Cycle and Synthesis of Nylon 6,6: Green Chemistry in the Undergraduate Organic Laboratory
Matthew R. Dintzner, Charles R. Kinzie, Kimberly Pulkrabek, and Anthony F. ArenaJournal of Chemical Education2012 89 (2), 262-264A one-term synthesis project that incorporates many of the principles of green chemistry is presented for the undergraduate organic laboratory. In this multistep scheme of reactions, students react, recycle, and ultimately convert cyclohexanol to nylon 6,...

Using Green Chemistry to Enhance Faculty Professional Development Opportunities
Margaret E. Kerr and David M. Brown2009 1011 (), 19-36Using Green Chemistry to Enhance Faculty Professional Development Opportunities
Margaret E. Kerr and David M. Brown2009 1011 (), 19-36Of the plethora of benefits that derive from practicing green chemistry, one that is not often considered, or at least discussed, is its application toward enhancing the professional development of faculty as they advance through the ranks. Opportunities ...

Thomas E. Goodwin2009 1011 (), 37-53The Hendrix College organic chemistry laboratories were converted to microscale experiments in 1988 to minimize possible adverse environmental impact, increase lab safety, and decrease generation of waste and costs of waste disposal. As we became aware of ...
Thermal Equilibrium in Plastic and Glass Microscale Containers
Estela Curbelo , María F. Cerdá and Eduardo MéndezJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (8), 1326Thermal Equilibrium in Plastic and Glass Microscale Containers
Estela Curbelo , María F. Cerdá and Eduardo MéndezJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (8), 1326Thermal equilibration of solutions in plastic microscale containers is achieved more slowly than in glass containers, owing to the lower thermal conductivity of plastic materials. The extended thermal equilibration time should be taken into account in the ...
