| Microfluidics for Chemical Engineering presents the fundamentals of microfluidic flow and dispersion and provides new insights for the use of microfluidics in the field of chemical engineering. It provides a timely, comprehensive, and detailed overview, demonstrating state-of-the-art methodology, research advances, classic instances, and providing insightful, forward-looking perspectives. The contents range through the flow and dispersion in microfluidics, microreaction regulation via the coalesce and transfer of droplets, to product engineering regarding controllable fabrication of microparticles and microfibers with advanced functions. The chapters clearly summarize the design concepts and general strategies involved as well as the involved mechanisms and classic instances. Instructive advice is also featured throughout on rational regulation of multiphase flows and interfaces in microfluidics, thus offering guidance for process intensification of chemical engineering. Microfluidics for Chemical Engineering will be a definitive reference resource familiarizing the reader with state-of-the-art research frontiers in the field. It is primarily written for advanced graduate/postdoc students and researchers chemical engineering, but with relevance to materials scientists, physical and materials (including polymer) chemists, physicists, biochemists, as well as pharmaceutical and biomedical scientists. - Systematic and comprehensive overview of microfluidic processes, devices, and applications for chemical engineering - Special attention given to relevant chemical engineering applications, such as reaction, environmental, and particle engineering - Vivid schematics and illustrations throughout the book enhance the accessibility to the relevant theory and technologies - Examines previously poorly covered topics such as membrane and microvalve sensors and covers microfluidic production of functional particles and fibers in detail |
