Novel Multi-Phase Fluidic Platforms for Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear Forensics

Executive Summary

We will create a new class of fluidic micro-architected materials and develop a platform technology that is ideally suited for use in multi-phase systems. This novel, multi-phase, cellular fluidic platform will be specifically engineered to address the multi-phase sample handling needs used in chemical, biological, and nuclear security forensic applications, and will initiate a new era of controlled multi-phase transport using advanced manufacturing and computational design.
