Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Microfluidics deals with fluids flowing in miniaturized systems. It is a young discipline, which is expected to substantially expand over the next few years, stimulated by the considerable development of applications in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and chemical engineering domains. The book is an introduction to this discipline. In the first chapter, it presents a short historical background and discusses the main perspectives of the domain, at economical and scientific levels. Then the physics of miniaturization and the fluid mechanics of microflows are discussed. In the following three chapters, dispersion, electrical and thermal phenomena in miniaturized devices are presented. A brief introduction to microfabrication techniques is given in chapter six and the book concludes by providing a few examples of microfluidic systems.

The book is written in a simple, direct, pedagogical way. It emphasizes concepts and understanding, rather than technical detail. It offers a cross-disciplinary view of the field embracing biological, chemical, physical and engineering perspectives. By using the book, the reader will have concepts, methods and data to grasp situations which typically arise in microfluidic systems.

Reviews for Introduction to Microfluidics

`In general, I believe engineers will find this book to be more qualitative than they are used to while physical scientists will find the book more quantitative than they are used to in places. Overall, this book fills a need for a discussion of liquid microfluid flows and despite some apparently cultural differences (my inference) resulting in some awkward constructions, I found the book illuminating.' A T Conlisk, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol 570, 2007 `... very timely ... there is a lot of work going on in this area, and I actually think that it will increase over the next few years.' David Weitz, Harvard University `... very satisfactory from a scientific point of view ... telling us why things happen, not just that they do.' Kari Dalnoki-Veress, McMaster University, Hamilton
