Annotation -
The course aims to inform students about the advantages and specifics of working at the micro and nanoscale. Emphasis will be placed on the description of governing phenomena, which in many ways differ significantly from those observed in "macroscopic" life. It will also outline i) the creation of equipment from design to implementation - design, optimization, and technology of micro-equipment, ii) the application of microsystems in practice, iii) the use of computational tools for simulation of multi-phase systems and surface phenomena in the micro and nanoworld.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

design, prepare and work with microfluidic equipment

use microfluidic devices in practice - segmented flow, gradient formation, observation of cell chemotaxis

sensors - application and preparation

preparation of dosage forms, description of methods and release kinetics

use natural concepts in practice - biomimetics
