To achieve results useful for industry, the university must be actively engaged in educat-ing the sponsors as to the nature and capabilities of the solution (including state-of-the-arttechniques, relevant literature such as patents, necessary computer and hardware resources, futurepotential ideas culled from the research literature, etc.). Quite often the term “technology trans-fer” is used to describe this objective. To assure success in a project, the company must be ableto understand, implement, and support the solution. Technology transfer can take place in severaldifferent fashions, including on-site and off-site training. Researchers from the university canplay an active teaching role acquainting

Reasonsinclude lower yield in competitive reactions, longer than expected batch times on scale-up andpoor understanding of the impact of complex fluid rheology on mixer design all of which maydelay commercialization.Little has changed since Smith’s paper was published yet, given the recognized importance ofmixing as
