Realisation of next generation Lab-on-a-Chip devices - key challenges in fundamental materials science.
In: Lab-on-a-Chip European Congress 2010, 25-26 May 2010, Dublin, Ireland.
Novel polymers responsive to external stimuli can undergo dramatic changes in properties. These effects can be used to control the functionality of microfluidic manifolds, and suggest that they could form the basis of next-generation, biomimetic-systems capable of long-term autonomous operation.
