Microfluidics and Nanotechnology: a Synergistic Approach for Bioengineering

EasyChair Preprint 11271

Abstract

Microfluidics and nanotechnology have emerged as two transformative fields with significant potential for bioengineering applications. This paper explores the synergistic approach between these two domains, highlighting their collaborative role in advancing bioengineering research and applications. Microfluidic systems provide precise control over small fluid volumes, enabling the manipulation of biological materials and the creation of functional devices at the micro- and nanoscale. Nanotechnology, on the other hand, offers a toolkit for fabricating and characterizing nanoscale materials and structures with unique properties. This paper reviews the integration of microfluidics and nanotechnology, elucidating how their combination has led to innovative solutions in areas such as biosensing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics. Moreover, the paper delves into the development of lab-on-a-chip systems and organ-on-a-chip platforms, which leverage both microfluidic and nanoscale elements to mimic complex physiological environments and improve drug testing and disease modeling.
