Electro-osmotic diode based on colloidal nano-valves between double membranes

نویسندگان

چکیده

The rectification of electro-osmotic flows is important in micro- and nano-fluidics applications such as micropumps energy conversion devices. Here, we propose a simple diode which colloidal particles are contained between two parallel membranes with different pore densities. While the flow forward direction just pushes toward high-pore-density membrane, backward blocked by near low-pore-density clog pores. Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations show strong nonlinear dependence on electric field for both current flow, indicating characteristics. A mathematical model to reproduce behavior constructed, introducing an effective diameter pores clogged particles. Good agreement obtained proposed estimated parameter values results direct simulations. has potential application downsized microfluidic pumps, e.g., pump induced under AC fields.

Vibration Response of an Elastically Connected Double-Smart Nanobeam-System Based Nano-Electro-Mechanical Sensor

Nonlocal vibration of double-smart nanobeam-systems (DSNBSs) under a moving nanoparticle is investigated in the present study based on Timoshenko beam model. The  two  smart  nanobeams (SNB) are  coupled  by  an  enclosing  elastic  medium  which  is  simulated  by  Pasternak foundation. The energy method and Hamilton’s principle are used to establish the equations of motion. The detailed param...

A new electro-osmotic pump based on silica monoliths

A high-pressure electro-osmotic (EO) micro-pump fabricated by a sol–gel process is shown to be potentially effective as a fluid-driving unit on chip-scale analytical systems. A silica monolithic matrix with a morphology of micron-scaled through pores was synthesized within the 100 m inner diameter (i.d.) fused-silica capillary of the micro-pump. The monolith bonds directly with the capillary wa...

Polyelectrolytes between two membranes or colloidal particles

We investigate the equilibrium behaviour of charged polymers of finite length in a Debye-screened potential between two parallel charged walls. For the polymer we take the continuum approximation to calculate the spectrum of eigenfunctions for the partition function. For finite but long polymers only the lowest two terms in this expansion contribute to first order to the configurational sum, co...

An electro-osmotic micro-pump based on monolithic silica for micro-flow analyses and electro-sprays.

A high-pressure electro-osmotic micro-pump fabricated by a sol-gel process is reported as a fluid-driving unit in a flow-injection analysis (FIA) system. The micro FIA system consists of a monolithic micro-pump on a glass slide (2.5 x 7.5 cm), a micro-injector, and a micro-sensor (2.5 x 1.5 cm). The monolithic silica matrix has a continuous skeleton morphology with micrometer-sized through-pore...
