Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is generated from GO dispersed in water under continuous flow in the absence of harsh reducing agents, in a vortex fluidic device, such that the processing is scalable with uniformity of the product.

This paper describes the fabrication and actuation of bio-mimetic cilia for fluid manipulation. High aspect ratio cilia made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were successfully assembled in a microfluidic device by our novel fabrication method. This method was to release the PDMS cilia from a Si mold and assemble the cilia in a device. All the process was performed under water in order to avoid the stiction and pairing of the PDMS cilia. The underwater assembly method enabled a high aspect ratio PDMS structure assembly in a fluidic device. The PDMS cilia were actuated in air and water by lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) microstage. In the fabricated device, the maximum displacement of the cilia was observed at 120Hz in air and at 50Hz in de-ionized (DI) water with our experimental condition. The actuated cilia in a solution produced convective and propulsive fluid flow near the cilia structure. The developed device can be used for precise handling of small volume sample (e.g., 1 μL).

The present work is focused on the study of an innovative fluidic device. It consists of a two-ways diverter valve able to elaborate an inlet water flow and divert it through one of the two outlets without moving parts but as a result of a fluctuation of pressure induced by two actuation ports, or channels. Such apparatus is named Attachment Bi-Stable Diverter (ABD) and is able to work with the effect of the fluid adhesion to a convex wall adjacent to it, this phenomenon is known as Coanda Effect; it generates the force responsible for the fluid attachment and the consequent deviation. The main purpose of this work is to develop a knowhow for the design and development of such particular device. A mathematical model for the ABD has been developed and used to find the relationships between the geometrical parameters and the operative conditions. A configuration has been designed, simulated with a computational fluid dynamics approach. A prototype has been printed with and additive manufacturing printer and tested in laboratory to check the effective working point of the device.

The rapid electrokinetic patterning (REP) technique developed recently is a hybrid optoelectrokinetic one that manipulates micro- or nanocolloids in a microfluidic chip using the simultaneous application of a uniform ac electric field and laser illumination. Since its invention, the technique has been applied to many research fields with promising potential, but these applications are still in their early stages. In order to effectively complete and leverage the applications, this paper reviews the publications concerning the REP technique and discusses its underlying principles, applications, and future prospects.
