Electrokinetics holds out the promise of allowing for true micro- and nanofluidic technology that doesn't require external handling procedures or large capillary pumps because electric fields are able to facilitate the actuation and manipulation of micro- and nanofluids. Chang (chemical and biomolecular engineering, U. of Notre Dame, US) and Yeo (mechanical and aerospace engineering, Monash U., Australia) describe analytical tools and demonstrative experiments for understanding the nonequilibrium and nonlinear electrokinetic phenomena associated with electrolytes and dielectric liquids at the micro and nano scales. They review classical equilibrium electrokinetic theories, along with more recent theoretical developments; discuss electro-osmotic transport and its application to the design of DC electrokinetic pumps; and examine electrophoresis and its applications. They then switch focus to nonequilibrium electrokinetic phenomena in chapters discussing field-induced dielectric polarization, field-induced double layer polarization, dielectrophoresis, and electrorotation. Finally, they examine the linear and nonlinear electrokinetics associated with free surfaces, the concepts of electrohydrodynamic atomization and the electrospinning of polymer fibers, and electrowetting and electrokinetic bubble transport.
