Microfluidics and Microfabrication

The contributors to this volume discuss the connections between microfluidics, microfabrication and the life sciences. In particular, they analyze the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics in micro-scale and nano-scale confinements and microfabrication.

Microfluidics and Microfabrication discusses the interconnect between microfluidics, microfabrication and the life sciences. Specifically, this includes fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics in micro-scale and nano-scale confinements and microfabrication. Material is also presented discussing micro-textured engineered surfaces, high-performance AFM probe-based, micro-grooving processes, fabrication with metals and polymers in bio-micromanipulation and microfluidic applications. Editor Suman Chakraborty brings together leading minds in both fields who also:




Cover the fundamentals of microfluidics in a manner accessible to multi-disciplinary researchers, with a balance of mathematical details and physical principles
Discuss the explicit interconnection between microfluiodics and microfabrication from an application perspective
Detail the amalgamation of microfluidics with logic circuits and applications in micro-electronics


Microfluidics and Microfabrication is an ideal book for researchers, engineers and senior-level graduate students interested in learning more about the two fields.
