Short Report on Surface-Driven Capillary Flow of Dyed Water in Straight Microchannel Fabricated by Polymer

Subhadeep Mukhopadhyay

Abstract


In this experimental work, a single straight microchannel of rectangular cross-section is fabricated by maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography and direct bonding technique. This microchannel is fabricated using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as optically transparent polymer. Dyed water is selected and prepared as working liquid. CMOS camera is used to record the surface-driven capillary flow of dyed water in the fabricated straight microchannel. This work will be useful in applied chemistry.
