The two volumes entitled, Micro fluidic Devices for Nanotechnology,
covering fundamental concepts in the first volume and applications
in the second volume are the first ever to be published that bring
out synergy between microfludics and nanotechnology.
This volume provides readers up-to-date knowledge about fluid
and particle kinetics, spatiotemporal control, fluid dynamics,
residence time distribution and nanoparticle focusing within micro
fluidics. The fundamental concepts discussed here are invaluable
for both nanotechnology and micro fluidic practitioners. The book
has a total of nine chapters beginning with a comprehensive
discussion on physics, modeling, technological components, and
fabrication of micro fluidics along with information on future
directions and probable techniques and applications that will drive
the cutting edge research in micro fluidics such as reconfigurable
micro fluidics with spatial and temporal control. Rest of the book
stimulates conversations on micro fluidic devices as enabling
technologies for kinetic studies, micro and nano fluid dynamics,
electro kinetic effects, and magnetic control of particle
transport. Highlighting the importance of a pre concentration
strategy, the book also covers various methods for particle
manipulation such as electrofluidic, and DC and AC electrokinetic
methods. Finally, as residence time distribution (RTD) is one of
the most relevant when nanomaterials are synthesized within
microfludics, the book also provides the residence time
distribution (RTD) for the formation of different types of
nanoparticles.
The second volume is a source of information that judiciously
combines elements of micro fluidics and nanotechnology and shows a
way forward for exciting applications in fields ranging from
chemistry, biology, molecular & cell biology, neuroscience,
catalysis and nanomaterials synthesis. The book fills in a long
term gap that existed for real time measurement of bimolecular
binding in biosensors and justification for incorporating
nanoporous membranes into "lab-on-a-chip" biosensing devices.
Focusing on lab‐on‐a chip systems for drug delivery (also called
bio‐MEMS), separating bioanalytes using electrophoresis, genomic,
proteomics and cellomics, the book is a must for biologists and
biochemists. Highlighting the importance of nanoneuroscience, the
book educates the reader on the discipline of micro fluidics to
study the nervous system at the single-cell level, and decipher
physiological processes and responses of cells of neural origin.
For a nanomaterials chemist interested in novel approaches for
synthesis of nanomaterials, the book provides an excellent source
of information covering a wide variety of micro fluidic -based
approaches for synthesis of metallic as well as non metallic
nanomaterials. Finally, opening a window for next generation
alternative energy portable power devices, nanocatalyst development
for industrially useful reactions in silicon-based micro reactors
is discussed especially in the context of syngas conversion to
higher alkanes; which could solve current difficulties of storage
and transportation by converting natural gas into liquid fuels.
