Motivated by the lack of fundamental experiments, Dr. Sengupta initiated systematic investigation of LC flows at micro scales, gaining new insights that are also suggestive of novel applications. By tailoring the surface anchoring of the LC molecules and the channel dimensions, different topological constraints were controllably introduced within the microfluidic devices. These topological constraints were further manipulated using a flow field, paving the way for Topological Microfluidics. Harnessing topology on a microfluidic platform, as described in this thesis, opens up capabilities beyond the conventional viscous-dominated microfluidics, promising potential applications in targeted delivery and sorting systems, self-assembled motifs, and novel metamaterial fabrications. | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | Flexible Micro-cargo Concepts; Guided Transport; LC Flows at Micro Scales; Liquid Crystal Flows; Microch | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-00858-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-03355-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-00858-5Series ISSN 2190-5053 Series E-ISSN 2190-5061 | issn_series | 2190-5053 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2013 |
