The interplay of all these disciplines has led to several topics being covered by this multidisciplinary area and has consequently led to several different types of devices and systems for myriad applications. Our intent in writing this book is to present a comprehensive resource that integrates essen- tials of microfluidic and nanofluidic systems in a single text. Therefore, the goal is to present the underlying theory, discuss the main (and a large variety of) fabri- cation methods that are commonly used and finally present a snapshot of the vari- ety of applications. Throughout the book several case studies are presented to highlight the development of systems and subsequent use in applications. Therefore, the rationale behind the book is to demonstrate the use of multiple disciplines and topics for constructing a broad array of systems for solving sci- ence, engineering, andtechnology challenges. The microfluidics and nanofluidics community comprises a growing group of active, creative, and pioneering researchers. Therefore, this area has seen tremen- dous growth inthe pastdecade evidencedby the large number ofscientific papers and books that have been published. Our book presents a unique look at this vast body of scientific literature from a systems perspective with the underlying assumption that fundamental theories and fabrication go hand in hand for con- structionandoperationofmanypractical devices. Therefore,itwouldbeuseful to view the advances through the prism of “global” advances in science and technol- ogy using our case studies as an example rather than advances in individual disci- plines. The direct consequence of our approach is that this book covers a large rangeoftopics.Itislikelythatwehaveomittedsomematerialeitherforclarityor lack ofspace butwe assist the interestedreader by pointing them to aselect bibli- ography at the end of each chapter. Finally, we expect the book to be adopted in introductory courses on microfluidics and nanofluidics as it covers all the essen- tials. Therefore, some chapters present exercises in the text with additional pro- blems available on the companion website. In addition, the companion website (which includes all chapters in digital form) presents a unique advancement in sharing knowledge through books. We present a purely digital chapter that dis- cusses several experimental methods relevant to microfluidics and nanofluidics. The goal of this e-chapter is to demonstrate a variety of laboratory scale techni- ques that are usually lost in the print format. Therefore, our book presents a first comprehensive effort at viewing the discipline of microfluidics and nanofluidics from an application standpoint driven by a systems approach by drawing upon underlyingtheoriesandadvancesinfabrication. Shaurya Prakash and JunghoonYeom ix About the Authors Shaurya Prakash received his B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, in 2001, and went on to receive his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees also in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 2003 and 2007, respectively. He has been on the faculty at the Ohio State University since 2009 in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He is the director of the Microsystems and Nanosystems Laboratory at OSU, and has published over 20 archival journal articles, 50 conference papers, and 4 book-chapters on various aspects of microsystems and nanosystems. His research focuses on developing microsystems and nanosystems for applications in water purification, renewable and alternate energy, and health- care systems. His group addresses fundamental scientific questions and strives to develop new technologies for problems important to modern societal needs. The research work is multidisciplinary and often requires bridging several fields includingmechanical engineering, surface chemistry, andmaterials science. JunghoonYeomreceivedhis B.S. inmechanicaldesignandproductionengineer- ing from Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, in 2000, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 2003 and 2007, respectively. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State University and the director of Nanomaterials, Nanomanufacturing, Nanodevice Laboratory. Prior to joining MSU, Dr. Yeom was an NRC research associate at Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC and a research scientist at Cbana Labs Inc. in Illinois. He was also a visiting scholar in the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and affiliated with the nano- CEMMS center. His research group focuses on developing unconventional nano- manufacturing platforms, photocatalysis, and gas sensing and separation. He is a coauthor of a book chapter, over 20 journal publications, and more than 50 con- ference proceedings in the field of chemical sensors, NEMS/MEMS, micro/nano- fluidics, fuel cells, and gas sorbents technology. xi Acknowledgments Any authorof abookwill disclose thatwriting abook,even asingle volume such as this one, is an arduous task. We acknowledge the support of many key indivi- dualsincompleting this task. We owe many thanks to several special people. We would like to thank our familiesfortheirenormouspatienceandconstantencouragementduringtheentire process, from the initial concept to writing and going through all the details of publishing. Shaurya’s wife, Ruchika, and Jung’s wife, Hyokyoung, have been a pillar of strength and have provided wonderful feedback on several aspects of writing, while managing many responsibilities and allowing us the time to under- take this academic exercise. No words can express our heartfelt thanks to both of them. We also appreciate the support of our parents who nurtured the curiosity in us to grow as a scientist and an engineer, which was instrumental in initiating this effort and taking itto completion. Both of us thank the entire microfluidics and nanofluidics community of researchers for providing us with ample creative and wonderful scientific material to discuss. Among this group, a few select individuals have influenced us both professionally and personally that made the task of writing this book an enjoyable journey. In particular, we thank our Ph.D. advisor, Prof. Mark Shannon at the University of Illinois, for teaching us the value of communicating scientific results and sharing our knowledge with the broad scientific community. He also was instrumental in training us with all the fundamentals on building successful systems. We are both deeply indebted to Mark. We also would like to take this opportunity to thank our graduate students, co-workers, collaborators, research mentors, and friends who made numerous contributions to the book and whose work appearsinseveral places includingthe Select bibliography. Without all these wonderful people,this book would notbepossible.

Figure 1.1 shows a conceptual plot that depicts how the interplay between critical length scales and subsequent device volumescandriveseveralapplicationsforµ-Naflsystems. An identifying feature of all µ-Nafl systems is the surface-area-to-volume (SA/V) ratio. Consider two examples: (1) a simple circular cross-section nanopipe with a diameter of 10nm and a length of 1µm will have a SA/V ratio on the order of 107m21 and (2) a microchannel with a rectangular cross-section with a width of 100µm, depth of 20µm, and a length of 1mm will have an SA/V ratio on the order of 105m21. The discussion for SA/V ratios is pertinent because sev- eral forces and related phenomena important to fluid transport at these length scales change as SA/V ratios increase, as the governing principles dominating these phenomena assume different relative magnitudes.
