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. With an A-Z format spanning over 300 entries, the encyclopedia is be a valuable resource for (analytical, organic, medicinal, physical, surface, and colloid) chemists and biochemists; molecular and cell biologists; geneticists; applied and industrial microbiologists; virologists; electronic, materials, chemical, mechanical, electrical engineers and bioengineers; pharmacists; bioprocess technologists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in the field of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices.
