Summary

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 promising new diagnostic tools, novel approaches to drug delivery, and revolutionary ideas about gene expression. The Encyclopedia of Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an alphabetically-arranged definitive reference, designed for easy access to information on all aspects of fluid flow, fluid dynamics, theoretical modeling, physical principals and applications. The over 500 entries offer an overview to the history and basic science, as well as summaries of future directions, cross-references, and further reading lists. The encyclopedia will be a valuable resource for analytical 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.
