Abstract

This research provides a comprehensive exploration of the development and characterization of magnetically responsive microwall arrays (MRMAs), presenting a novel approach to precise droplet manipulation. The proposed fabrication process involves microscale wall arrays created using carbonyl iron particles embedded in polydimethylsiloxane through a replica molding process. The MRMAs demonstrate a unique response to magnetic fields, enabling precise control over droplet movement. Through superhydrophobic coatings and meticulously adjusted magnetic fields, the system facilitates the efficient movement of droplets along predefined routes, achieving outstanding accuracy in droplet directionality and positioning. The experiments highlight the capability of MRMAs to merge differently colored droplets, underscoring their potential in long-distance droplet transportation. The results suggest applications in microfluidic systems, lab-on-a-chip devices, and targeted drug delivery, marking a significant advancement in microfluidic research.
磁响应微球阵列与用于液滴定向输送的路径导向器
这项研究全面探讨了磁响应微小壁阵列(MRMA)的开发和表征,提出了一种精确操控液滴的新方法。所提出的制造工艺包括通过复制成型工艺,将羰基铁颗粒嵌入聚二甲基硅氧烷中,从而制造出微尺度壁阵列。MRMA 对磁场有独特的响应,可实现对液滴运动的精确控制。通过超疏水涂层和精心调节的磁场,该系统促进了液滴沿着预定路线的高效运动,实现了液滴方向性和定位的卓越精确性。实验强调了 MRMA 融合不同颜色液滴的能力,突出了其在长距离液滴运输方面的潜力。研究结果表明,MRMA 可应用于微流控系统、片上实验室设备和靶向药物输送,标志着微流控研究取得了重大进展。

期刊介绍: Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary engineering journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. SMS has a Board of Associate Editors who are specialists in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures. A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. SMS is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter.
