1338008IslamThis proposal is for the acquisition of a Micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (micro-PIV) system to conduct micro-fluidics, MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical-systems), and biomedical flow experiments for both research and student training at the University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB). UTB is a minority-serving institution in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) of Texas. With a population of 1.5 million, comprised primarily of Hispanics, the RGV is the fourth-largest populated region in the state. The project supports four specific research components: (i) Integration of Microcantilever with AC Electrokinetics for Sensing Bio-/Nano-Particles. tric fields for the implementation of high-efficiency bioparticle collection and separation. (ii) Biased AC Electroosmosis Micropump for Water Management in PEM Fuel Cells. (iii) Biomimetic Flow Sensing. The main objective of this activity is to obtain the micro-scale time-dependent flow structures. (iv) Selective Filtration/Absorption of Nano- and Micron- Size Particles Using Carbon Nanotube-Based Media. This activity will synthesize carbon nanotube-based media with various morphologies and densities to selectively filter nano- and micron-size particles from fluid flow.

1338008伊斯兰该提案是为了获得一个微粒图像测速（micro-PIV）系统，用于在德克萨斯大学布朗斯维尔分校（UTB）进行研究和学生培训的微流体，MEMS（微机电系统）和生物医学流动实验。UTB是德克萨斯州格兰德山谷（RGV）的一所少数民族服务机构。RGV人口150万，主要由西班牙裔组成，是该州第四大人口地区。该项目支持四个具体的研究组成部分：(i)集成微悬臂与交流电动力学传感生物/纳米粒子。电场实现高效的生物颗粒收集和分离。用于PEM燃料电池水管理的偏压交流电渗透微泵。（iii）仿生流量传感。这项活动的主要目的是获得微观尺度的随时间变化的流动结构。（iv）利用碳纳米管为基础的介质选择性过滤/吸收纳米和微米大小的颗粒。该活动将合成具有不同形态和密度的碳纳米管基介质，以选择性地过滤流体中纳米和微米大小的颗粒。
