Summary
Microfluidic and MEMS platforms increasingly combine complex microscale transport with engineered materials to enable compact systems for diagnostics, chemical processing, energy, environmental monitoring, and precise fluid delivery. Their performance is governed by coupled fluid-structure, thermal, electrokinetic, acoustic, magnetic, and interfacial phenomena, while material selection and fabrication determine reliability, biocompatibility, manufacturability, and long-term stability.
This Special Issue aims to bring together experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies that clarify these coupled mechanisms and translate them into robust microfluidic devices. It welcomes original research and focused reviews on the design, modelling, fabrication, characterization, integration, and application of MEMS-based microfluidic systems, with emphasis on studies that establish a clear relationship among fluid dynamics, materials, actuation, and device performance.
Suggested themes include:
Active and passive micromixers; micropumps, microvalves, and microactuators; droplet and digital microfluidics; electrokinetic, acoustic, magnetic, and capillary transport; fluid-structure interaction; functional polymers, composites, thin films, and surface treatments; micro/nanofabrication and packaging; lab-on-chip and organ-on-chip platforms; microfluidic biosensors and point-of-care systems; heat and mass transfer; multiphase flow; computational modelling; reliability, scale-up, manufacturability; and data-driven optimization.
Keywords
