- Description:
It presents the design and manufacture of self-propelled polymeric microfluidic devices manufactured by 3D printing and PDMS molding. Three pumping strategies were presented:
(1) PDMS modular micropump.
(2) 3D modular micropump of flexible epoxy resin.
(3) finger-actuated pump.
Finally, the obtained self-propelled devices: the detection of starch and the determination of pH in sweat, with applications in the food industry and in the biosanitary sector, respectively,were evaluated.
