Purpose

CFMW08 is an informal gathering of researchers working in complex fluids and microfluidics with the primary purpose of providing a forum for cross-fertilisation of ideas on current advances and future directions in these areas.

Scope

Complex Fluids

1. •Polymeric liquids
   

2. •Colloidal suspensions
   

3. •Physiological/biological fluids
   

4. •Granular materials
   

5. •Surfactant-laden systems
   

6. 
   

Micro/Nanofluidics

1. •Fluid actuation and droplet transport
   

2. •Pathogen/biomolecule concentration
   

3. •Micro-mixing
   

4. •Separation
   

5. •Bioparticle sorting
   

6. •DNA manipulation
   

Format

The workshop will consist of several plenary sessions by invited keynote speakers who are leading experts in their respective fields. In addition, there will be a panel discussion session on perspectives on future directions in both subject areas. Please see here for the programme.
