Abstract
The recent publications concerning temporal and spatial chaotic mixing were reviewed. As a result, it was found that the mixing time for temporal chaotic mixing of a single liquid, that is co-reverse periodic rotation, time-periodically fluctuating rotation and reciprocating, has been investigated extensively. However, the applications of temporal chaotic mixing have been tried only for suspension polymerization of styrene and preparation of silica microcapsules. On the other hand, the spatial chaotic mixing has been widely used in industry but the studies were relatively limited.
