01C04 Interfacial and Electrochemical Phenomena in Microfluidics and Mems Devices
OverviewThis symposium will focus on interfacial, electrochemical, and transport issues that are critical to the understanding and development of microfluidic devices and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Especially sought are contributions that utilize the ability of these devices to control experimentation on a small scale, providing fundamental insight into chemical/physical/biological phenomena not seen on the macroscopic scale. Both theoretical and experimental studies are encouraged.
