Microfluidics and Microfabrication - Softcover

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, Professor at IIT Kharagpur, India, 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 life sciences

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