A Planar Electroosmotic Micropump
Electroosmotic (EO) micropumps use field-induced ion drag to drive liquids and achieve high pressures in a compact design with no moving parts. An analytical model applicable to planar, etched-structure micropumps has been developed. This model consists of pressure and flow relations in addition to an analytical expression that can be used to estimate the thermodynamic efficiency of planar EO p...
متن کاملBiomimic PDMS Valve Applied in Thermopneumatic Micropump
A passive biomimic PDMS valve applied in thermopneumatic micropump is firstly designed and realized. Unlike the conventional peristaltic pumping configuration, the micropump consists of two stacking layers of PDMS on a glass slide. This sandwich-type structure builds up two chambers. A thermopneumatic actuation chamber consists of a 57 ohm heater on the glass slide; the other fluid chamber is c...
متن کاملPDMS valves in DNA computers
DNA computing is an interdisciplinary field accessing the possibility for the use of biomolecules, such as DNA, RNA and proteins, as a computational or control tool. Traditionally, DNA computers were thought to compete with electronic computers to solve, for example, NP-complete problems. However recently, there has been a focus shift to biomedical applications. One form of DNA computing is per...
متن کاملPlanar micro-check valves exploiting large polymer compliance
This paper presents three types of microfabricated planar check valves that exploit the large compliance of elastomeric polymers such as olydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The micro-check valves consist of a thin compliant flap and a rigid stopper embedded in close proximity in a icrochannel. The flap is perpendicular to the flow and lies near the stopper, forming a restricted fluid path inside the ch...
متن کاملAn Electromagnetically-Actuated All-PDMS Valveless Micropump for Drug Delivery
This paper presents the fabrication process of a single-chamber planar valveless micropump driven by an external electromagnetic actuator. This micropump features a pair of micro diffuser and nozzle elements used to rectify the fluid flow, and an elastic magnetic membrane used to regulate the pressure in the enclosed fluid chamber. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used as the main construction ma...
