Abstract
Micromixers are one of the essential components of microfluidic devices since many biological and chemical applications require homogenous mixing. In recent years, the investigation of micromixers in terms of fabrication methods, materials, types, and designs has gained considerable interest in providing researchers with high-performance micromixers for the desired applications. This notable progress has sparked widespread enthusiasm for publishing research and review articles related to micromixers, leading researchers to encounter a wide variety of articles with different aims, scopes, and qualities. Thus, to show the trend of micromixer research, a comprehensive reference is indispensable to cover these articles in order to classify and organize the associated information. To address this issue, the present study has offered a comprehensive analysis of papers published in the micromixers field. Also, we have evaluated the trend of the research studies performed and published papers and discussed future directions and challenges related to micromixers.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
