Short Report on Surface-Driven Water Flow in PMMA Microfluidic Device towards the Principles of Nanofluidics

  1. Dr. Subhadeep Mukhopadhyay

Abstract

In this experimental work, a single polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microfluidic device is fabricated by maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography and direct bonding technique. Dyed water is prepared and used as working liquid. A CMOS camera is used to record the surface-driven microfluidic flow of dyed water in fabricated microfluidic device. The centrifugal effect on capillary flow is prominent in the recorded snap shot images. This work may be useful to generate nanofluidic flow in nanofluidics.
