Manipulation of microfluidic droplets by electrorheological fluid.
Microfluidics, especially droplet microfluidics, attracts more and more researchers from diverse fields, because it requires fewer materials and less time, produces less waste and has the potential of highly integrated and computer-controlled reaction processes for chemistry and biology. Electrorheological fluid, especially giant electrorheological fluid (GERF), which is considered as a kind of...
متن کاملElectromagnetically-Actuated Reciprocating Pump for High-Flow-Rate Microfluidic Applications
This study presents an electromagnetically-actuated reciprocating pump for high-flow-rate microfluidic applications. The pump comprises four major components, namely a lower glass plate containing a copper microcoil, a middle PMMA plate incorporating a PDMS diaphragm with a surface-mounted magnet, upper PMMA channel plates, and a ball-type check valve located at the channel inlet. When an AC cu...
متن کاملElectrorheological fluid dynamics.
We use the Onsager principle to derive a two-phase continuum formulation for the hydrodynamics of the electrorheological (ER) fluid, consisting of dielectric microspheres dispersed in an insulating liquid. Predictions of the theory are in excellent agreement with the experiments. In particular, it is shown that whereas the usual configuration of applied electric field being perpendicular to the...
متن کاملLight Actuated Microfluidic Devices
A light-actuated microfluidic device has been successfully fabricated to inject, move, separate, and merge liquid droplets with nano-liter volumes. Light actuation is realized by sandwiching the liquid droplets between two photosensitive surfaces whose wettability can he changed by light. By integrating a photoconductor with an electrowetting electrode, the surface tension at the liquidsolid in...
متن کاملPiezoelectrically Actuated Miniature Peristaltic Pump
Increasingly NASA experiments, instruments and applications are requiring pumps that are miniature and consume low power. To address this need, a piezoelectrically actuated pump is being developed. This pump employs a novel volume displacing mechanism using flexural traveling waves that act peristaltically eliminating the need for valves or physically moving parts. Finite element model was deve...
