Journal ArticleDOI
Principles and applications of nanofluidic transport
TL;DR: This review provides an introduction to the theory of nanofluidic transport, focusing on the various forces that influence the movement of both solvents and solutes through nanochannels, and reviews the applications of nan offluidic devices in separation science and energy conversion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technologies for nanofluidic systems: top-down vs. bottom-up - a review
TL;DR: It is concluded that technology in the region of 1-10 nm is lacking and potentially can be covered by using the pulsed-laser deposition method as a controlled way for thin film deposition (thickness of a few nanometers) and further structuring by the top-down method.
Journal ArticleDOI
BBB ON CHIP: microfluidic platform to mechanically and biochemically modulate blood-brain barrier function
L. M. Griep,Floor Wolbers,B. de Wagenaar,P.M. ter Braak,Babette B. Weksler,Babette B. Weksler,Ignacio A. Romero,P.O. Couraud,I. Vermes,A. D. van der Meer,A. van den Berg +10 more
TL;DR: The smallest model of the blood-brain barrier yet is presented, using a microfluidic chip, and the immortalized human brain endothelial cell line hCMEC/D3, which is very well suited to study barrier function and evaluate drug passage to finally gain more insight into the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silicon micromachined hollow microneedles for transdermal liquid transport
Han Gardeniers,Regina Luttge,Erwin Berenschot,M.J. de Boer,S.Y. Yeshurun,Meir Hefetz,R. van't Oever,A. van den Berg +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an out-of-plane hollow microneedles are fabricated using a sequence of deep-reactive ion etching (DRIE), anisotropic wet etching and conformal thin film deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capillary filling speed of water in nanochannels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the capillary filling speed of water in nanochannels with a rectangular cross section and a height on the order of 100 nm over a length of 1 cm, and the measured position of the meniscus as a function of time qualitatively follows the Washburn model.
