Passive Capillary Flow of Dyed Ethanol for Nanofluidics
Abstract: In this experimental work, a single polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microchannel bend as microfluidic device is fabricated by maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography and direct bonding technique. Dyed ethanol is prepared and used as working liquid in this work. A CMOS camera is used to capture the surface-driven capillary flow of dyed ethanol in the fabricated PMMA microchannel bend. In future, this experimental work may be useful to establish the nanofluidic flow …

Nano-Scale Fluid Mechanics: A Review
Abstract: This review article is mainly focused on microfluidics and nanofluidics. Nanofluidics is the subject to realise any nano-scale fluid mechanics governed inside the selected nanochannel. The surface-driven microfluidic flow of dyed water is experimentally demonstrated corresponding to one SU-8 based glass microfluidic device fabricated by maskless lithography and indirect bonding technique. This brief review may be helpful to establish the nanofluidic flow phenomena in future.
