Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have been long-standing efforts to develop continuous micro-scale fluidic devices for a variety of applications in biology, chemistry, and engineering. Such efforts, incorporated in the science and technology of microfluidics, involve the study of the behaviors of fluids in channels with typical dimensions of tens to hundreds of micrometers, where surface and hydrodynamic effects dominate the effects of gravity. The known advantages of microstructured devices in intensifying chemical processes are the low consumption of the sample, high heat and mass transfer rates owing to the enhanced surface-area-to-volume ratio, and the significantly reduced diffusion distances that are not usually observed at macroscale.
Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments in fluidic microcomponents and microsystems.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
