Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device applications are
common in many areas. Micromirror arrays are used as video
projectors; microsensors find their application for measuring
acceleration, temperature, and pressure; and they can also be used
in the medical field for measuring blood pressure. Microfluidics
have also been widely employed in life sciences applications, such
as drug development and administration, point-of-care devices, and
more. To use these technologies to their fullest extent, further
research is needed. Advances in MEMS and Microfluidic Systems
explores the emerging research and advances in MEMS devices and
microfluidic systems applications. It features in-depth chapters on
microfluidic device design and fabrication as well as on the
aspects of devices/systems, characterization, and comparative
research findings. Covering topics such as biosensors,
lab-on-a-chip, and microfluidic technology, this premier reference
source is an indispensable resource for engineers, health
professionals, students and educators of higher education,
librarians, researchers, and academicians.
