NOVEL MATERIALS AND MICRODROPLETS (MM)

(MM4) Microdroplets: Tiny Lab Toys with Enormous Potential (2L)

Physical behaviour of fluids when confined in micro sized cavities is quite different than the behaviour of fluids in the macro-scale world. In the last decade, a better understanding of microfluidics boosted the development of this specific area of knowledge. In these lectures we will go through the physical basics from microfluidics to microdroplets, the design and fabrication of microfluidic devices for microdroplet generation and manipulation, as well as into the range of applications that this novel technology can cover.
