This title analyses how droplets can be manipulated, handled, or transported using electric fields (electrowetting), acoustic actuation (surface acoustic waves).$bIn this 2nd edition of Micro-Drops and Digital Microfluidics , Jean Berthier explores the fundamentals and applications of digital microfluidics, enabling engineers and scientists to design this important enabling technology into devices and harness the considerable potential of digital microfluidics in testing and data collection. This book describes the most recent developments in digital microfluidics, with a specific focus on the computational, theoretical and experimental study of microdrops. Unique in its emphasis on digital microfluidics and with diverse applications ranging from drug delivery to point-of-care diagnostic chips, organic synthesis to microreactors, Micro-Drops and Digital Microfluidics meets the needs of audiences across the fields of bioengineering and biotechnology, and electrical and chemical engineering. . Authoritative reporting on the latest changes in microfluidic science, where microscopic liquid volumes are handled as ""microdrops"" and separately from ""nanodrops."" . A methodical examination of how liquid microdrops behave in the complex geometries of modern miniaturized systems and interact with different morphological (micro-fabricated, textured) solid substrates. . A thorough explanation of how capillary forces act on liquid interfaces in contact with micro-fabricated surfaces. . Analysis of how droplets can be manipulated, handled, or transported using electric fields (electrowetting), acoustic actuation (surface acoustic waves), or by a carrier liquid (microflow). . A fresh perspective on the future of microfluidics. 410 0$aMicro & nano technologies. 606 $aAtomizers 606 $aMicrofluidics$xEquipment and supplies 606 $aSpraying equipment 606 $aElectrostatic atomization$xMethodology 606 $aMicroelectromechanical systems 606 $aDrops 615 0$aAtomizers. 615 0$aMicrofluidics$xEquipment and supplies. 615 0$aSpraying equipment. 615 0$aElectrostatic atomization$xMethodology. 615 0$aMicroelectromechanical systems. 615 0$aDrops. 676 $a620.106 700 $aBerthier$b Jean$01824745 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006760103321 996 $aMicro-drops and digital microfluidics$94392047 997 $aUNINA
