AC Electro-osmosis (ACEO) is a newly developed microfluidic mechanism, which can transport fluids and particles with low voltage that is suitable for integration with IC circuitry. We observed line formation of particles on electrodes by ACEO, leading to better understanding of ACEO microflows. Also by identifying a new ACEO mechanism from electrochemical reaction, we developed Asymmetric Polar...

The wave-like metachronal motion of natural and artificial cilia is important to obtain a net flow in low Reynolds number regime. In this study, we report that consisting three beams with different lengths arranged parallel order length show the through induced charge electro-osmosis (ICEO) by suddenly applied AC electric fields, because response times due beam lengths. Furthermore, found ICEO ...

Electroporation of skin has recently been shown to enhance transport of charged molecules across skin by up to four orders of magnitude. This study demonstrates that high-voltage pulses can also increase transdermal permeation of two neutral model solutes, i.e. mannitol and water, up to 100-fold. The elevated flux results from the persistent increase in skin permeability following electroporati...
