Claim:
1. A disc reactor system for providing polymerization and nanoparticle production, the system comprising: a rotating disc comprising a first surface and a second surface, wherein said first surface and second surface arranged longitudinally along a single axis of rotation; a shaft attached to the rotating disc, and wherein the shaft further comprises a ball bearing arrangement and a gear box for rotating the first surface and the second surface of the rotating disc at various speeds; a ring provided on top of the first surface of the rotating disc; at least one feed inlet for providing a feed solution to the first surface of the rotating disc, wherein said feed solution being a primary material for the formulation of nanoparticles; a fluid inlet for providing a heat transfer fluid within a body of the shaft; a fluid outlet provided in a chamber surrounding the shaft for facilitating exit of the heat transfer fluid; a product collector for collecting the produced nanoparticles; and at least one product outlet provided on the product collector for facilitating exit of the produced nanoparticles; at least one flange provided on the shaft of the rotating disc to hold the ball bearing arrangement; at least one fluid spraying nozzle configured to prevent produced nanoparticles from sticking on to the product collector wall; wherein the feed solution provided on the first surface of the rotating disc flows from the first surface in the form of a thin film to the second surface of the rotating disc due to centrifugal forces and strikes walls of the product collector and gets accumulated at the bottom of the product collector and exits from the disc reactor through the product outlet.
