Short description
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.
