Electrokinetic Flows and Micropumps

Dear Colleagues,

“Electrokinetic Flows and Micropumps” is a Special Issue of Micromachines targeted at the exchange of state-of-the-art research ideas related to the recent development of electrokinetic micropumping theory. Electrokinetic micropumps have no moving parts but possess a perfect frequency response and the ability to precisely deliver flow at high-pressure and low flow rates. These attributes make them ideally suited for the control of flow in many biomedicine applications. Accordingly, the main objective of this Special Issue is to provide a unique opportunity to share and discuss theoretical science, experimental techniques, fabrication developments, and novel applications of electrokinetic micropumps in biomedicine.

This Special Issue shall consider the publication of research or review articles that address recent discoveries and developments in electrokinetic micropumps. This collection of papers will hopefully bring out more innovative ideas and fundamental insights in the general field of electroosmotic flows.

Prof. Dr. Yasser Aboelkassem

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
