Description
Summary:Lastly, studies were directed toward the development and modeling of colloid containing microfluidics for the active modulation of microwave absorption. A method for the self-pumping of immiscible fluids was developed and a numerical model was formulated to estimate liquid flow rates in the microchannels as a function of different parameters including device dimensions and fluid properties. Initial work also focused on the development of non-lossy injection molded microfluidic platforms fabricated from Teflon. Prepared in cooperation with the University of California at Berkeley.
