Transport Properties of Biofluids in Micromachined Geometrics

Abstract

The determination of transport properties of biological materials flowing in micron and sub-micron geometrics is discussed. The program goal was to develop techniques to identify anomalous viscous and diffusion effects due to complex biological materials. This goal was met. Experimental techniques were developed to accurately measure mass flows and slop velocities present in polymer materials flowing through sub-micron channels. Measurements were taken and preliminary results were obtained indicating that (as expected) polymeric materials do not conform to expected models. More extensive results were not available due to lack of sufficient time during the current program to complete the original investigation.
