چکیده

Molecular self-assemblies exhibiting automatic motions have received much attention as potential artificial models of living organisms. We have developed a microfluidic picolitre nozzle-array device to form multilamellar lipid tubes (MLTs) under fluidic shear stress, which transformed into different two patterns (yarn-balls and double-helixes) and also exhibited unique self-actuation behaviors.

Design and Fabrication of an Array Microejector Driven by a Shear-Mode Piezoelectric Actuator

This paper reports a novel actuating design that uses the shear deformation of a piezoelectric actuator to deflect a bulge-diaphragm for driving an array microdroplet ejector. In essence, we employed a circular-shaped actuator poled radial direction with remnant polarization normal to the actuating electric field for inducing the piezoelectric shear effect. The array microdroplet ejector consis...

Method for Attaching Fluidic Interconnects using Resistively Heated Gold

Two methods of attaching fluidic interconnects are presented. By using gold to gold fusion bonding and copper to gold fusion bonding, micro-scale tubes are attached to a MUMPS fabricated fluidic channel. The fusion bonding is done by resistively heating a gold layer on top of the poly 2 layer, so that the gold melts. A range of different heater geometries is presented. The tensile and shear str...
