In this paper, the rapid mixing of deionized water and Fe 3 O 4 ferrofluid in a Y-shaped
microchannel using a permanent magnet is studied both numerically and experimentally …

The use of a magnetic field for manipulating the motion of magnetic particles in
microchannels has attracted increasing attention in microfluidic applications. Generation of a …

The first book offering a global overview of fundamental microfluidics and the wide range of
possible applications, for example, in chemistry, biology, and biomedical science. As such, it …

Abstract The review (with 95 refs.) starts with an introduction that addresses the need for
magnetic actuation in microfluidics. A second section describes the equations governing …

Magnetic drug targeting is a drug delivery approach in which therapeutic magnetizable
particles are injected, generally into blood vessels, and magnets are then used to guide and …

Nowadays, carbon nano (CN) structures and specifically carbon nanotubes (CNTs),
because of the nanotube's nanoscale shape, are widely used in carrier and separation …

Ferrofluids are typically suspensions of magnetite nanoparticles, and behave as a
homogeneous continuum. The ability of the ferrofluid to respond to an external magnetic …
