Abstract
The separation of the nano-sized particles into distinct bands, spatially separated from each other has also brought considerable attention in many scientific areas recently The filtration and controlled spatial separation of nanometric particles by a combination of dielectrophoretic and electrohydrodynamic forces is presented. Using planar microelectrode arrays, a mixture of two differently sized particles can be separated into constituent components. This paper aims to analyzing some of the most promising techniques that combine the use of dielectrophoretic and electrohydrodynamic forces for controlling the movement of nano-particles, in view of their selective sorting or filtration from a fluid.
