Description for Topological Microfluidics
Hardback. One of the first attempts to integrate two highly active domains - microfluidics and liquid crystals - this book shows how to harness topology on a microfluidic platform. Opens capabilities beyond viscous-dominated microfluidics, promising broad applications. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 171 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF; PHF; PNR; TGMF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 426.
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, ... Read more
