Springer Electrokinetics and Electrohydrodynamics in Microsystems

Explore advanced methods for handling small objects at the micrometer scale with this comprehensive scientific text from Springer. As electrical forces become increasingly dominant over other forces in micro-scale environments, understanding voltage-based control is essential for modern research and application. This volume provides state-of-the-art knowledge covering both theoretical and applied aspects of electrical manipulation. It focuses on the behavior of colloidal particles and fluids within microsystems, offering a deep dive into the mechanisms that drive these processes. Whether you are investigating dielectrophoresis, electrowetting, or the electrokinetics of fluids, this book serves as a vital resource for mastering the electrical control of micro-scale systems. Designed for a technical audience, this book is an ideal reference for doctoral students, young researchers, and senior scientists working in biotechnology and mechanical sciences. It bridges the gap between fundamental theory and practical application in the field of electrohydrodynamics.
