Voltage-Triggered Wetting in Bio-Inspired Microfluidic Channels

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingPosterpeer-review

Abstract

This work presents bio-inspired microfluidic channels that form liquid diodes and are then equipped with a needle-like electrode to create "liquid triodes," analogous to electronic triodes. The devices transport liquid uni- or (bi)directionally over centimeters at velocities in the range of mm/s in response to highvoltage signals. Fabrication involves laser ablation. The topography of the microfluidic channels was
analyzed by optical coherence tomography (OCT). The components have potential applications in biomedical microfluidics, labs-on-a-chip, lubrication, filtration, and electronics cooling.
