Fundamentals on Bionanotechnologies - Bionanoelectronics: Bioinquiring and Bioinspired Devices - page 54

More advanced nanofluidics devices based on CNTs are used in various applica-
tions such as “water wires,” membranes, gas transport, filtration ( Noy et al. 2007 ), or
as biosensors ( Lee et al. 2009 ). The biosensors, which are of paramount importance
for bionanoelectronics, will be the subject of the next chapter. The technologies
for the fabrication of nanochannels and nanofluidic devices are the top-down and
bottom-up approaches described in this chapter ( Mijatovic et al. 2005 ).
