Microfluidic devices for manipulating fluids are widespread and finding uses in many
scientific and industrial contexts. Their design often requires unusual geometries and the …

Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

Ultrafast water permeation in aquaporins is promoted by their hydrophobic interior surface.
Polytetrafluoroethylene has a dense fluorine surface, leading to its strong water repellence …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

This review discusses the use of the combination of surface roughness and hydrophobicity
for engineering large slip at the fluid-solid interface. These superhydrophobic surfaces were …

The evolution from microfluidic to nanofluidic systems has been accompanied by the
emergence of new fluid phenomena and the potential for new nanofluidic devices. This …

The venerable theory of electrokinetic phenomena rests on the hypothesis of a dilute
solution of point-like ions in quasi-equilibrium with a weakly charged surface, whose …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

For several centuries fluid dynamics studies have relied upon the assumption that when a
liquid flows over a solid surface, the liquid molecules adjacent to the solid are stationary …
