Electrohydrodynamics in polyelectrolyte layer grafted narrow fluidic channels

Abstract

Narrow fluidic channels with built in polyelectrolyte layers also called the soft layers at the inner walls are widely used to transport bio samples in on chip applications The grafted polyelectrolyte layer PEL demonstrates its profound efficacy in application driven micro nanofluidics Unresolved issues on the underlying transport in PEL grafted narrow fluidic pathways are not only restricted to the transport of Newtonian fluids but also include the analysis of non Newtonian fluids as well...
