Photo-responsive ionogels: versatile flow control in micro-fluidic manifolds
Benito-Lopez, Fernando and Byrne, Robert and Diamond, Dermot (2010) Photo-responsive ionogels: versatile flow control in micro-fluidic manifolds. In: Polymer Networks Group (PNG) 2010, Aug. 29th - Sep.2nd 2010, Goslar, Germany. Full text available as: AbstractThis paper presents the synthesis, characterization and micro-valve actuation in a micro-fluidic device of novel polymeric materials based on phosphonium ionic liquids (ILs), ionogels. When photo-responsive gels are co-polymerised within different IL matrixes, high versatility in the ionogels actuation can be achieved when incorporated in a micro-fluidic system as micro-valves.
