Resumé

In this research paper, author has fabricated total 422 individual SU-8 based glass microfluidic devices by the maskless lithography, clamping, and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating using his own hands-on completely. Also, total 422 individual Audio-Video- Interleave-Files as ‘FileName.avi’ related to these microfluidic devices have been recorded and analysed by the author completely. The influence of effective viscosity on the surface- driven capillary flow of aqueous microparticle suspensions has been experimentally investigated. Also, the effects of surface wettability, channel aspect ratio and centrifugal force on the surface-driven capillary flow of aqueous microparticle suspensions have been experimentally investigated. The aesthetic values of the surface-driven capillary flow in SU-8 based glass microfluidic devices have been pictorially expressed in this research paper by the suitable representative images captured using different optical instruments. According to the designs of the microchannels of this research paper, only streamline motion of working liquids in the surface-driven capillary flow is expected without any considerable turbulence by the principles of fluid mechanics. The experimental investigations of this research paper are a novel approach in the royal-world of science-and-technology. In future, the principles of microfluidics may be useful in the nuclear power plants having nuclear reactors based on the applications of nuclear science and nuclear engineering.
