Natural fiber and its derivatives are one of the most widely used biomass and polymers. On-
going research and applications of natural fiber-based composites have gained increasing …

The manipulation of cells and particles suspended in viscoelastic fluids in microchannels
has drawn increasing attention, in part due to the ability for single-stream three-dimensional …

Inertial microfluidics uses the hydrodynamic effects induced at finite Reynolds numbers to
achieve passive manipulation of particles, cells, or fluids and offers the advantages of high …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heavily implicated in diverse pathological processes. Due to
their small size, distinct biogenesis, and heterogeneous marker expression, isolation and …

Recently, research on particle migration in non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluids has gained
considerable attention. In a viscoelastic fluid, three dimensional (3D) particle focusing can …

Multiphysics microfluidics, which combines multiple functional physical processes in a
microfluidics platform, is an emerging research area that has attracted increasing interest for …

Dielectric particles in a non-uniform electric field are subject to a force caused by a
phenomenon called dielectrophoresis (DEP). DEP is a commonly used technique in …

The separation and detection of particles in suspension are essential for a wide spectrum of
applications including medical diagnostics. In this field, microfluidic deterministic lateral …

Particle manipulation is often required in many applications such as bioanalysis, disease
diagnostics, drug delivery and self-cleaning surfaces. The fast progress in micro-and nano …

Microfluidic flow is commonly employed in the biological, chemical, or physical analysis of
samples in small fluid volumes because of the typical lack of nonlinear phenomena, with …
