Magnetically Controlled Microfluidic Channels

A technological framework for entirely soft microfluidic channels controlled by an external magnetic is pro-posed. The crucial part of the channel is a multilayer structure compounded of a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) and additional nonmagnetic layers that provide unique properties to the system. The proposed concept is studied by numerical simulations and experiments on laboratory prototypes.
