What is Effect of Nanostructures Orientation on Electroosmotic Flow in a Microfluidic Channel about?

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is an electric-field-induced fluid flow that has numerous micro-12 /nanofluidic applications, ranging from pumping to chemical and biomedical analyses. Nanoscale 13 networks/structures are often integrated in microchannels for a broad range of applications, such as 14 electrophoretic separation of biomolecules, high reaction efficiency catalytic microreactors, and 15 enhancement of heat transfer and sensing. Their introduction has been known to reduce EOF. ## 16 Hitherto, a proper study on the effect of nanostructures orientation on EOF in a microfluidic ## 17 channel is yet to be carried out. In this investigation, we present a novel fabrication method for 18 nanostructure designs that possess maximum orientation difference, i.e. parallel versus 19 perpendicular indented nanolines, to examine the effect of nanostructures orientation on EOF. It 20 consists of four phases: fabrication of silicon master, creation of mold insert via electroplating, 21 injection molding with cyclic olefin copolymer (COC), and thermal bonding and integration of 22 practical inlet/outlet ports. The effect of nanostructures orientation on EOF was studied 23 experimentally by curr
