Description

Stretchable microfluidics for improved fluid and particle handling. This project aims to develop an unprecedented microfluidic platform technology that enables real-time and onsite control of microchannel geometry and dimension. The project expects to create a stretchable microfluidic platform for adaptable and versatile manipulation of fluids and particles, underpinning the development of next-generation miniaturised fluidic devices with applications in real-time health monitoring. Expected outcomes include the generation of new knowledge in advanced manufacturing of flexible devices and a proof-of-concept prototype for biomedicine and fisheries. This will significantly benefit Australia’s biomedical, pharmaceutical and fishing industries with cutting-edge diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 4012 - Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Engineering. Lead: Dr Jun Zhang
