Why is it important?
Some micrfluidic devices are used in capillary electrophoretic mode, where Joyle heating occurs and affects the separation. The solution of this problem is proposed by using thermal conducting and dielectric at the same time diamond particles as additive to PDMS.
Perspectives
Massive. Simple, easy, cheap way for the preparation of microfluidic devices for the use in electrophoretic mode.
