Abstract
The year 1980 can probably be considered as the formal birth year of microfluidics, with the advent of microfluidics for the development of inkjet printhead, DNA chips, lab-on-chip technology, micro-propulsion and micro-thermal technologies. Challenges and technological advancements are the two key words which act as driving potential for the development of this field. After a journey of 32 years we are also feeling motivated by the same two key words, challenges and technological advancements, to look into the world of micro-confined environment.
