Computationally Informed Design of a Multi-Axial Actuated Microfluidic Chip Device

Abstract This paper describes the computationally informed design and experimental validation of a microfluidic chip device with multi-axial stretching capabilities. The device, based on PDMS soft-lithography, consisted of a thin porous membrane, mounted between two fluidic compartments, and tension...
