Manipulation Of Multiphase Materials For Touch-less Nanobiotechnology A Pyroflui

The Thesis Presents An Original And Smart Way To Manipulate Liquid And Polymeric Materials Using A Pyro-fluidic Platform Which Exploits The Pyro-electric Effect Activated Onto A Ferroelectric Crystal. It Describes A Great Variety Of Functionalities Of The Pyro-electrohydrodynamic Platform, Such As Droplet Self-assembling And Dispensing, For Manipulating Multiphase Liquids At The Micro- And Nanoscale. The Thesis Demonstrates The Feasibility Of Non- Self-assembling Of Liquids In Plane (1d) Using A Micro Engineered Crystal, Improving The Dispensing Capability And The Smart Transfer Of Material Between Two Different Planes (2d) And Controlling And Fabricating Three-dimensional Structures (3d).the Thesis Present The Fabrication Of Highly Integrated And Automated 'lab-on-a-chip' Systems Based On Microfluidics.
