Ultrafast High-pressure AC Electro-osmotic Pumps for Portable Biomedical Microfluidics
Chien-Chih Huang, Martin Z. Bazant, Todd Thorsen
This paper details the development of an integrated AC electro-osmotic (ACEO) microfluidic pump for dilute electrolytes consisting of a long serpentine microchannel lined with thre…
A design principle for improved 3D AC electro-osmotic pumps
Damian Burch, Martin Z. Bazant
Three-dimensional (3D) AC electro-osmotic (ACEO) pumps have recently been developed that are much faster and more robust than previous planar designs. The basic idea is to create a…
Induced-charge Electrophoresis of Metallo-dielectric Particles
Sumit Gangwal, Olivier J. Cayre, Martin Z. Bazant +1
The application of AC electric fields in aqueous suspensions of anisotropic particles leads to unbalanced liquid flows and nonlinear, induced-charge electrophoretic (ICEP) motion.…
Induced-Charge Electro-Osmosis
Todd M. Squires, Martin Z. Bazant
We describe the general phenomenon of `induced-charge electro-osmosis' (ICEO) -- the nonlinear electro-osmotic slip that occurs when an applied field acts on the ionic charge it {\…
