J. Lim, A. Swami, L. M. Gilson, S. Chopra, S. Choi, J. Wu, R. Langer, R. Karnik, and O. C. Farokhzad. Ultra-high throughput synthesis of nanoparticles with homogeneous size distribution using a coaxial turbulent jet mixer. ACS Nano, 8, 6056–6065 (2014).We develop a simple millifluidic system that can be made from off-the-shelf components for controlled synthesis of nanoparticles at high throughputs.
J. Lim and R. Karnik. Optimizing the discovery and clinical translation of nanoparticles: could microfluidics hold the key. Nanomedicine, 9, 1113-1116 (2014).We disccuss our views on the role of microfluidics in nanomedicine.
J. Lee, T. Laoui, and R. Karnik. Nanofluidic transport governed by the liquid/vapour interface.Nature Nanotechnology, 9, 317–323 (2014).We develop an osmosis membrane that uses nanobubbles as a selective layer and use it to demonstrate a regime of nanofluidic transport governed by the reflection of water molecules hitting the liquid surface from the vapor phase.
