a. Charged surfaces, EDL theory and electrokinetics In this topic, we explore the behavior of nanoscale charged surfaces and the transport and liquids and ions (through electrokinetics) triggered by the interactions of these surfaces with liquids and ions. The applications of the topic range from better exploiting nanoscale physics for augmented nanoscale transport to developing […]

3-D Printing refers to ability to carry out additive manufacturing in 3-D space. SMIEL is extensively involved with 3-D printing of electronics and composites on conformal surfaces by using commercial and in-house-fabricated inks as well as developing the central thermo-fluidic and thermo-mechanical understanding involved in different 3D processes. Collaborators: Dr. Dan Hines (LPS), Prof. Abhijit

In this paper, we study the electrokinetic energy generation in nanochannels grafted with pH-responsive polyelectrolyte brushes modeled using our recently developed Strong Stretching Theory. This is the most advanced continuum modelling of electrokinetic transport in brush-grafted nanochannel till date. This is Harnoor’s 13th paper from the group and Vishal’s 3rd paper from the group. Congrats
