Beschreibung
This book reviews the latest advancement of microfluidics and nanofluidics with a focus on electrokinetic phenomena in microfluidics and nanofluidics. It provides fundamental understanding of several new interfacial electrokinetic phenomena in microfluidics and nanofluidics. Chapter 1 gives a brief review of the fundamentals of interfacial electrokinetics. Chapter 2 shows induced charge electrokinetic transport phenomena. Chapter 3 presents the new advancement in DC dielectrophoresis. Chapter 4 introduces a novel nanofabrication method and the systematic studies of electrokinetic nanofluidics. Chapter 5 presents electrokinetic phenomena associated with Janus particles and Janus droplets. Chapter 6 introduces a new direction of electrokinetic nanofluidics: nanofluidic iontronics. Chapter 7 discusses an important differential resistive pulse sensor in microfluidics and nanofluidics.

Dongqing Li obtained his Ph.D. degree at the University of Toronto in 1991. In 1993, Dr. Li joined the faculty of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Alberta, where he obtained tenure in 1997 and was promoted to the rank of a full professor in 1999. In the same year, he was awarded the McCalla Professorship for research excellence. He later joined the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto, in 2000 as a tenured full professor. From October 2005 to August 2008, Dr. Li was the H. Fort Flowers chair professor of Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt University, USA. Since September 2008, Dr. Li has joined the University of Waterloo as a tenured full professor, and he was the Canada research chair (Tier 1) in Microfluidics and Nanofluidics from 2008 to 2013. Dr. Li is an internationally leading expert in the area of microfluidics and nanofluidics. He was the editor-in-chief of an international journal-Microfluidics and Nanofluidics (Springer) from 2004 to 2012. Dr. Li was also the editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Microfluidics and Nanofluidics (first edition and second edition) (Springer).
