Synopsis:

Microfluidics: Modeling, Mechanics and Mathematics, Second Edition provides a practical, lab-based approach to nano- and microfluidics, including a wealth of practical techniques, protocols and experiments ready to be put into practice in both research and industrial settings. This practical approach is ideally suited to researchers and R&D staff in industry. Additionally, the interdisciplinary approach to the science of nano- and microfluidics enables readers from a range of different academic disciplines to broaden their understanding. Alongside traditional fluid/transport topics, the book contains a wealth of coverage of materials and manufacturing techniques, chemical modification/surface functionalization, biochemical analysis, and the biosensors involved.

This fully updated new edition also includes new sections on viscous flows and centrifugal microfluidics, expanding the types of platforms covered to include centrifugal, capillary and electro kinetic platforms.

• Provides a practical guide to the successful design and implementation of nano- and microfluidic processes (e.g., biosensing) and equipment (e.g., biosensors, such as diabetes blood glucose sensors)
• Provides techniques, experiments and protocols that are ready to be put to use in the lab, or in an academic or industry setting
• Presents a collection of 3D-CAD and image files on a companion website

About the Author: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bastian E. Rapp is a full professor of process technology at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) and the head of the NeptunLab, University of Freiburg, Germany. For his work, he was awarded, among others, the Edison Prize of the General Electric (GE) Foundation, the GMM award, and the Südwestmetall-Förderpreis. In 2019, he received an ERC Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council for his work on tactile displays for the visually impaired. His work has been published in the most important international journals, including Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie, Nature, and Science, and has been featured in national and international radio and print media, including the BBC, The New York Times, and the Discovery Channel. In 2021, he was nominated by the German Minister of Research and Education, Anja Karliczek, for the German Future Award of the German President for Technology and Innovation. In 2022, he was nominated for the German Future Award of the German President for Technology and Innovation with his spin-off company Glassomer
for the development of a new generation of techniques for high-resolution structuring of glass. His research focuses on the development of novel materials, processes, and applications in microsystem engineering, life sciences, and biotechnology, as well as instrumental and clinical analytics.
