Recording of Surface-Driven Capillary Flow inside the Polymeric Microchannel Coated with Diamond like Carbon

Subhadeep Mukhopadhyay

Abstract


In this experimental work, author has fabricated a single polymeric microfluidic device by maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography and direct bonding technique. Author has coated the diamond like carbon inside the microchannel by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. Author has recorded the surface-driven microfluidic flow of dyed water in the fabricated device. The meniscus profile is recorded during the surface-driven microfluidic flow. This research work may be useful to fabricate the microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems by different polymers.
