Abstract

See full text

A microfluidic device is provided that has a negative volumetric strain under a tensile strain. The microfluidic device is capable of pumping fluids stored inside a reservoir towards an outlet through a microfluidic channel. The pumping mechanism is actuated by repeated (e.g., once or multiple times) application of in-plane tensile strain. The in-plane strain can be due to the skin deformation during human movements for a skin-mounted wearable device and related applications.
