摘要:

微流體技術(shù)是指在微觀尺寸下控制、操作和檢測(cè)復(fù)雜流體的新興技術(shù)，通過(guò)與柔性電子技術(shù)結(jié)合，產(chǎn)生了全新的柔性微流體電子技術(shù)，有望在可變形電極、可穿戴電子、可延展柔性天線等領(lǐng)域發(fā)揮重要作用。目前，液態(tài)金屬由于其常溫液態(tài)、大表面張力等特點(diǎn)，在材料、工藝和設(shè)備等方面面臨諸多挑戰(zhàn)。本文重點(diǎn)討論液態(tài)金屬的配置和屬性、微流體制造工藝與特點(diǎn)，以及柔性微流體電子技術(shù)的新興應(yīng)用。最后展望了柔性微流體電子技術(shù)需研究并解決的關(guān)鍵科學(xué)技術(shù)問(wèn)題。

Abstract:

Microfluidic technology is an emerging technology for controlling, operating and detecting complex fluid under microscale. With the combination of flexible electronic technology, a new microfluidic electronic technology is developed, which is expected to play an important role in the fields of deformable electrodes, wearable electronics, flexible antennas and others. At present, the liquid metal, due to its liquid state at room temperature, and large surface tension characteristics, faces many challenges in the material, process and equipment. This paper focuses on the configuration and properties of liquid metal, the fabrication process and characteristics of microfluidic electronics, and the advanced applications of flexible microfluidic electronics. Finally we prospects the flexible microfluidics electronic technology and the main challenges.
