This work represents one of the first comprehensive attempts to
seamlessly integrate two highly active interdisciplinary domains in
soft matter science - microfluidics and liquid crystals (LCs).
Motivated by the lack of fundamental experiments, Dr. Sengupta
initiated systematic investigation of LC flows at micro scales,
gaining new insights that are also suggestive of novel
applications. By tailoring the surface anchoring of the LC
molecules and the channel dimensions, different topological
constraints were controllably introduced within the microfluidic
devices. These topological constraints were further manipulated
using a flow field, paving the way for Topological Microfluidics.
Harnessing topology on a microfluidic platform, as described in
this thesis, opens up capabilities beyond the conventional
viscous-dominated microfluidics, promising potential applications
in targeted delivery and sorting systems, self-assembled motifs,
and novel metamaterial fabrications.
