Complex fluids exist in nature and are continually engineered for specific applications
involving the addition of macromolecules to a solvent, among other means. This imparts …

Electroosmotic flow (EOF), a consequence of an imposed electric field onto an electrolyte
solution in the tangential direction of a charged surface, has emerged as an important …

For liquids used in biological applications, a smaller diffusion coefficient results in a longer
mixing time. We discuss, in this endeavor, the promising potential of the AC electrothermal …

The present study uses numerical simulations and experiments to investigate the
electroosmotic flows of viscoelastic fluids through a microchannel containing a cylindrical …

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) has been widely used in various biochemical microfluidic
applications, many of which use viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluid. This study numerically …

The in vitro fabrication of big osteoarticular implants integrating biomaterials and cells is of
tremendous interest because these tissues have a limited ability to regenerate. However, the …

In this work, we present a series of solutions for combined electro-osmotic and pressure-
driven flows of viscoelastic fluids in microchannels. The solutions are semi-analytical, a …

Insulator‐based dielectrophoresis has to date been almost entirely restricted to Newtonian
fluids despite the fact that many of the chemical and biological fluids exhibit non‐Newtonian …

Many complex fluids such as emulsions, suspensions, biofluids, etc., are routinely
encountered in many micro and nanoscale systems. These fluids exhibit non-Newtonian …

The sperm propelling mechanism has been proposed as a possible resource for soft micro-
robots in confined spaces, with potential applications in biomedical engineering. Human …
