Controlled Bubble Dynamics Inside Micropillar Arrays
- Date Issued:
- 2018
- Abstract/Description:
- Bubble dynamics inside micro domains was manipulated and used to pump liquid. Micropillars were formed inside two 1.5 mm wide and 220 (&)#181;m high microchannels with a length of 23 mm. One microchannel had three arrays of micropillars with diameters of 40 (&)#181;m and the other had a single array of micropillars with diameters of 30 (&)#181;m. An array of five 200 (&)#181;m by 200 (&)#181;m heaters was deposited inside these micropillar arrays and was used to control bubble size and trajectory. A sequential power switching of the heaters was used to pump liquid in a desired direction with a flow rate of up to 133 (&)#181;l/min for the three arrays micropillars microchannel and up to 44.4 (&)#181;l/min for the single array micropillars device.
