Open microfluidics – the study of microflows having a boundary with surrounding air – encompasses paper- or thread-based microfluidics, droplet microfluidics and open-channel microfluidics. Open-channel microflow is a flow at the micro-scale, guided by solid structures, and having at least a free boundary (with air or vapor) other than the advancing meniscus. This book is devoted to the study of open-channel microfluidics which, contrary to paper or thread or droplet microfluidics, is still very sparsely documented, but bears many new applications in biology, biotechnology, medicine, material and space sciences.
