Rapid fabrication of pressure - driven open - channel microfluidic devices in omniphobic RF paper 3
This paper describes the fabrication of pressure-driven, open-channel microfluidic systems with lateral dimensions of 45–300 microns carved in omniphobic paper using a craft-cutting tool. Vapor phase silanization with a fluorinated alkyltrichlorosilane renders paper omniphobic, but preserves its high gas permeability and mechanical properties. When sealed with tape, the carved channels form con...

متن کاملControl of pressure-driven components in integrated microfluidic devices using an on-chip electrostatic microvalve
Pressure-driven actuators play a critical role in many microfluidic technologies, but the ancillary equipment needed to operate pneumatic and hydraulic platforms has limited their portability. To address this issue, we created an electrostatic microvalve used to regulate pressures in hydraulic control lines. In turn, these control lines are able to actuate pressure-driven components, e.g., micr...
متن کاملBicritical instabilities in pressure driven helicoidal flows
This contribution presents new phenomena regarding the stability of pressure driven flows within annular pipes. The fluid is advected downstream due to an axial pressure gradient but also subjected to centrifugal mechanisms due to the independent rotation of the coaxial cylinders that contain it. Coexistence of upstream and downstream spiral secondary flows is observed in the co-rotating regime...
متن کاملBubble-induced damping in displacement-driven microfluidic flows.
Bubble damping in displacement-driven microfluidic flows was theoretically and experimentally investigated for a Y-channel microfluidic network. The system was found to exhibit linear behavior for typical microfluidic flow conditions. The bubbles induced a low-pass filter behavior with a characteristic cutoff frequency that scaled proportionally with flow rate and inversely with bubble volume a...
