Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated a potential of local property modulation for a novel heat and mass transport scheme in microscale. Thermal, optical and electric field were used as external sources to modulate the viscosity, interfacial tension or electrical properties of the system. The control of fluid flow, particle and droplet in microfluidic platform was confirmed. Also, measurement techniques of three-dimensional flow and liquid temperature were developed as the evaluation method of the property-induced phenomena. As a result, the concept of the property-induced transport control was verified.
