Polydopamine Microfluidic System toward a Two‐Dimensional, Gravity‐Driven Mixing Device

Abstract

Given path: A polydopamine-based, pump-free, two-dimensional microfluidic system is energy-efficiently operated by gravity (see picture). The device consists of polydopamine (pD) micro-patterns on nanostructured, superhydrophobic anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) surfaces on which liquid droplets move along the micro-patterned paths of the polydopamine.
