Abstract Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices are broadly used for research in the life sciences and
diagnostics and represent a very fast moving field. LOC devices are designed, prototyped …

In Microfluidics, a large deviation in the published experimental data on the dynamic and
thermal behavior of microflows has been observed with respect to the classical theory but …

Micro-electro-mechanic-system (MEMS) devices on flexible substrate are important for non-
planar and non-rigid surface applications. In this paper, a novel and cost-effective fabrication …

Bio‐inspired cilium‐based mechanosensors offer a high level of responsiveness, making
them suitable for a wide range of industrial, environmental, and biomedical applications …

Nanofluidics finds its root in the study of fluids and flows at the nanoscale. Flow rate is a
quantity that is both central when dealing with flows and notoriously difficult to measure …

A flexible technology for microfluidic applications using piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride
(PVDF) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was developed. The flexible piezoelectric PVDF …

Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) forms the basis of new-generation portable analytical systems. LOC
allows the manipulation of ultralow flows of liquid reagents and multistep reactions on a …

In this paper, we present a micro flow sensor from a polymer based on the thermal
anemometric principle. A sensor with outer dimensions of 5.5× 6× 1.2 mm 3 and a small …

Low flow rate micropumps play an increasingly important role in drug therapy research.
Infusions to small biological structures and lab-on-a-chip applications require ultra-low flow …

An analytical model of the thermal flow sensor has been developed. The results of analytical
model application are utilized to develop a thermal flow microsensor with optimal functional …
