Microfluidic Devices in Nanotechnology: Applications

This is the first book to discuss the developments in microfluidics coupled with nanotechnology. This approach is a revolutionary way for growing numbers of investigations to replace, in the future, conventional synthesis of nanomaterials and nanomaterials–based analytical methods by lab–on–a–chip systems combining micro fluidic devices with nanotechnology. Exciting applications range from chemistry, biology, molecular and cell biology, neuroscience, catalysis and nanomaterial’s synthesis.. With reviews by world–recognized microflluidic and nanotechnology experts, this authoritative work provides strong scaffolding for futuristic applications utilizing synergy from two powerful scientific elements.
