Microfluidic modelling
This research project focuses on understanding conformation-switchable nanostructure embedded into microfluidic devices.
The technology will offer control of customised surface function, with applications in hydrophobic/ hydrophilic switching to make valves, pumps or mixers, or to expose catalysts in microchannels. The project addresses the modelling requirements for this technology through ab initio molecular modelling of the surface molecules, and the fluid mechanics within the microfluidic devices.
We’d like to hear from you
We are interested in establishing further research collaborations and developing links with companies to progress these technologies.
