  • Novel architecture for entrapment of elastomeric membranes in microfluidic systems

    Creator:
    Blackwell, Edward P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel microlamination architecture that enables the large scale integration of valves into low cost micro energy and chemical systems via membrane entrapment. Polycarbonate layers embossed with microfluidic channels were bonded by ultrasonic welding of raised embossed protrusions that penetrate though the PDMS membranes. The bonding pressure...
