Workshop 9 (Afternoon 14:00 - 17:00) Title: Nanofluidics: Principles and Applications Presenter: Jan C. T. Ejikel - University of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands Target Audience: People working with membranes, gels, nanoparticles, nanopores, colloidal systems, electrochemical systems, separation devices, who are either interested in a fundamental understanding or in adding new dimensions to their systems. Learning Objectives: This workshop covers the basics and applications of nanofluidics. In contrast to microfluidic systems, a solid surface is always at nanometer distance in a nanofluidic system, influencing both the composition of the solution and its dynamic properties. This causes a multitude of nanofluidics-specific phenomena, which will be discussed. Also, these exceptional properties and phenomena have found numerous applications, which are discussed with an eye on future developments. |
