Novel approaches that incorporate electrofluidic
and microfluidic technologies are reviewed to illustrate
the translation of traditional enclosed structures into open and
accessible textile based platforms. Through the utilization of
on-fiber and on-textile microfluidics, it is possible to invert the
typical enclosed capillary column or microfluidic “chip”
platform, to achieve surface accessible efficient separations
and fluid handling, while maintaining a microfluidic environment.
The open fiber/textile based fluidics approach
immediately provides new possibilities to interrogate,
manipulate, redirect, extract, characterize, and quantify solutes
and target species at any point in time during such processes as on-fiber electrodriven separations. This approach is
revolutionary in its simplicity and provides many potential advantages not otherwise afforded by the more traditional enclosed
platforms.
