Preface
Many people have not heard about microfluidics. This is somewhat astonishing as microfluidics surrounds us.
Microfluidics is the scientific disciplines that studies and employs the fluid physics at the micro- and nanometer scale. Fluids do interesting things when probed in such miniaturized systems. Capillarity is one of these effects we are familiar with. If you ever dipped a tissue paper in water and watched the water penetrate it you may have wondered what forces drive it. This is microfluidics. However, nowadays, there is an ample number of technical systems which make use of microfluidics ranging from analytical devices in biomedical engineering and the life sciences all the way to systems such as inkjet printers. ...
