Paper Abstract
This paper presents a valveless microfluidic chip driven by dielectric elastomers (DEs). First, the planar DE actuator is
designed and the diaphragm actuating performances were characterized. Then the micro chip, containing a pump
chamber and a pair of nozzle/diffuser, is fabricated on SU-8 under exposure to UV-light with a mask. The diaphragm
and the SU-8 is sealed and finally covered by a PMMA. The pumping and flow rate is tested and measured under high
AC supply, and a maxim flow rate of 21.2μl is achieved under 3500V, 8Hz sine wave.
