Abstract

Adsorption of polymer molecules under flow conditions governs a broad range of desired or undesired phenomena and has a broad range of applications. Microfluidic platforms integrated with analytical instrumentation offer the capability to study polymer adsorption in flow in a time‐ and labour‐efficient manner. Precise control of the microchannel dimensions and flow parameters enables accurate control of shear forces imposed on polymer solutions and on the molecules deposited on the surface, along with high sensitivity, enhanced reliability, and low reagent consumption. This review highlights recent advances in theoretical and experimental microfluidic studies of polymer immobilization under flow conditions in three area, namely, biosensing, biofouling, and studies of thrombosis and hemostasis. image
