Microvalve Actuators

Microvalve Actuator is a microscale electromechanical device that functions as a valve actuator by utilizing electrostatic forces to control fluid flow in microfluidic systems, distinguished from other microactuators by its integration of electrostatic driving principles with microvalve structures for precise fluid regulation.
