Developing an Active Microfluidic Pump and Mixer Driven by AC Field-Effect-Mediated Induced-Charge Electro-Osmosis of Metal–Dielectric Janus Micropillars: Physical Perspective and Simulation Analysis

Developing an Active Microfluidic Pump and Mixer Driven by AC Field-Effect-Mediated Induced-Charge Electro-Osmosis of Metal–Dielectric Janus Micropillars: Physical Perspective and Simulation Analysis

We propose herein a novel microfluidic approach for the simultaneous active pumping and mixing of analytes in a straight microchannel via the AC field-effect control of induced-charge electro-osmosis (ICEO) around metal–dielectric solid Janus cylinders of inherent inhomogeneous electrical polarizabi...
