Explores the latest applications arising from the intersection of
nanotechnology and microfluidics
In the past two decades, microfluidics research has seen
phenomenal growth, with many new and emerging applications in
fields ranging from chemistry, physics, and biology to engineering.
With the emergence of nanotechnology, microfluidics is currently
undergoing dramatic changes, embracing the rising field of
nanofluidics.
This volume reviews the latest devices and applications stemming
from the merging of nanotechnology with microfludics in such areas
as drug discovery, bio-sensing, catalysis, electrophoresis,
enzymatic reactions, and nanomaterial synthesis. Each of the ten
chapters is written by a leading pioneer at the intersection of
nanotechnology and microfluidics. Readers not only learn about new
applications, but also discover which futuristic devices and
applications are likely to be developed. Topics explored in this
volume include:
New lab-on-a-chip systems for drug delivery
Integration of microfluidics with nanoneuroscience to study the
nervous system at the single-cell level
Recent applications of nanoparticles within microfluidic
channels for electrochemical and optical affinity biosensing
Novel microfluidic approaches for the synthesis of
nanomaterials
Next-generation alternative energy portable power devices
References in each chapter guide readers to the primary
literature for further investigation of individual topics. Overall,
scientists, researchers, engineers, and students will not only gain
a new perspective on what has been done, but also the
nanotechnology tools they need to develop the next generation of
microfluidic devices and applications.
Microfluidic Devices for Nanotechnology is a two-volume
publication, the first ever to explore the synergies between
microfluidics and nanotechnology. The first volume covers
fundamental concepts; this second volume examines applications.
