    Abstract

    Nanoparticles are used in a variety of industries, including biomedicine, food science, energy and environmental engineering, and petroleum. Efficient and effective nanoparticle separation techniques are needed to ensure progress in these fields. Conventional separation techniques such as ultracentrifugation, filtration, chromatography, and selective precipitation are not continuous and require external energy sources. On the other hand, microfluidics is a simple, inexpensive, and continuous technique for the effective separation of nanoparticles. In this work, we built a graphene oxide (GO)-coated COC pillar-based microfluidic separation device and studied the effect of GO coating on silica nanoparticle deposition.
