This project develops a microfluidic chip to measure extensional flow in complex biological fluids, such as synovial fluid and mucus. The goal is to understand how these fluids behave under stress, which is crucial for diagnosing and treating related diseases.
Extensional flows occur widely in important biological functions of complex fluids, e.g. blood circulation, respiratory and gastrointestinal mucin flows and the synovial fluid in the joints.
Extensional flows can significantly stretch the long-chain molecules present in such fluids, resulting in dramatic increases in flow resistance that are not quantified by standard rheological tests, yet are vital for full characterization of fluid samples.
We propose to test the potential of a novel microflu…
