The author aims to provide a comprehensive description of how electrokinetic techniques can be used to manipulate particles on the nanometer scale. Chapters cover colloids and surfaces; analysis and manipulation of solid particles; dielectrophoresis of complex bioparticles; dielectrophoresis, molecules, and materials; nanoengineering; practical dielectrophoretic separation; electrode structures; computer applications in electromechanics; and dielectrophoretic response modeling with MATLAB. The material is aimed at final-year undergraduates and graduates, and the material’s scope has been chosen to be as broad as the author thought possible.
