    • A micropump includes a microchannel (10) formed in a substrate (15). The microchannel includes a plurality of electrode ring layers (25, 30) within the microchannel. Alternating electrode layers are covered with a fluoropolymer or other hydrophobic substance (20) that changes to hydrophilic in response to an applied voltage signal. Electrodes covered by fluoropolymer material (25) define hydrophobic regions interspersed between hydrophilic regions defined by exposed electrode ring layers (30). When a propagating fluid within the microchannel nears a hydrophobic region, a meniscus formed by the fluid is prevented from propagating due to the hydrophobic properties of the microchannel surface in that region. Application of a voltage to the hydrophobic region changes it to become hydrophilic, thereby allowing the meniscus, and the column of fluid behind it, to propagate past that region due to capillary forces. Upon encountering the next hydrophobic region, the meniscus is again prevented from propagating. Selective application of voltage signals to the electrodes in consecutive hydrophobic regions allows for a controlled rate of flow of fluid columns as determined by the dimensions of the microchannel (e.g., diameter of a microchannel having circular cross-section) and properties of the propagating fluid (e.g., viscosity).
    • 微型泵包括形成在基板(15)中的微通道(10)。 微通道包括微通道内的多个电极环层(25,30)。 交替电极层被含氟聚合物或其它疏水物质(20)覆盖,所述疏水物质(20)响应于施加的电压信号变为亲水的。 由氟聚合物材料(25)覆盖的电极限定了疏散区域,其间分散在由暴露的电极环层(30)限定的亲水区域之间。 当微通道内的传播流体靠近疏水区域时,由于该区域中的微通道表面的疏水特性,防止由流体形成的弯月面传播。 向疏水区域施加电压使其变为亲水性,从而允许弯液面及其后面的流体柱由于毛细作用力而传播超过该区域。 在遇到下一个疏水区域时,再次防止弯月面传播。 在连续的疏水区域中选择性地向电极施加电压信号允许通过微通道的尺寸(例如,具有圆形横截面的微通道的直径)和传播流体的性质(例如, 例如粘度)。
