Phenomena in microsystems and nanosystems are influenced by the device walls due to the
high surface-area-to-volume ratios that are a characteristic feature of these systems. The …

The ζ-potential of a solid–liquid interface is an important surface characterization quantity for
applications ranging from the development of biomedical polymers to the design of …

A lab-on-a-chip device is a microscale laboratory on a credit-card sized glass or plastic chip
with a network of microchannels, electrodes, sensors and electronic circuits. These labs on a …

There is a great demand in separation technologies for faster and more effective analysis
processes. Miniaturization is a suitable technique for satisfying this demand as reduction in …

With the development of microfluidics, electro-osmotic (EO) driven flow has gained intense
research interest as a result of its unique flow profile and the corresponding benefits in its …

The electroosmotic flow (EOF) velocity in single PDMS nanochannels with dimensions as
small as 20 nm is investigated systematically by the current slope method in this paper. A …

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) in nanochannels as small as 85 nm and in small microchannels is
systematically investigated by using the current-slope method. The effects of ion size, ion …

In this paper, the electroosmotic displacing process between two solutions (namely the
same electrolyte of different concentrations) in a rectangular microchannel is studied …

Although electroosmotic flow (EOF) has been applied to drive fluid flow in microfluidic chips,
some of the phenomena associated with it can adversely affect the performance of certain …

In this work, we explore two methods to simultaneously measure the electroosmotic mobility
in microchannels and the electrophoretic mobility of micron‐sized tracer particles. The first …
