Open-channel microfluidics : fundamentals and applications /

Open microfluidics--the study of microflows having a boundary with surrounding air--encompasses different aspects such as paper or thread-based microfluidics, droplet microfluidics and open-channel microfluidics. Open-channel microflow is a flow at the micro-scale, guided by solid structures, and ha...
