Currently there is no single definitive source for researchers to locate authoritative overviews and key literature on the basic topics in the field of microfluidics and nanofluidics, yet research in these areas is rapidly expanding.Particularly over the last 10 years, insight into the behavior of fluids at the microscale and nanoscale has transformed several areas of the applied sciences, such as medicine, pharmaceutical research, and analytical chemistry. The Encyclopedia of Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is alphabetically-arranged definitive reference. This comprehensive encyclopedia provides easy access to information on all aspects of Microfluidics and Nanofluidics. World-wide board andpanel of experts deliver latest information via alphabeticallyorganized entries for locating information quickly Also offers overviews on important topics in the field Packed with the key citations to the literature Cross-references between entries Premiumized journal mutually enhanced usage and visbility INDICE: From the contents 1.
