CarbonDEP refers to the induction of DEP by carbon structures. The final goal is, through an initial stage of modeling and analysis, to reduce idea-to-prototype time and cost of CarbonDEP devices to be applied in the health care field. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is successfully conducted to model flow and electric fields established by polarized 60 um-high high aspect ratio carbon cylinders, and its planar carbon connecting leads, immersed in a conductive solution. Results demonstrate correlation between a decreasing flow velocity gradient and increasing electric field gradient toward electrodes which is optimal for CarbonDEP applications. Simulation results are experimentally validated in the proposed applications. | | ISBN: | 978-1-4200-8505-1 |
