We demonstrate that catalytic micromotors can be trapped in microfluidic chips containing chevron and heart-shaped structures. Despite the challenge presented by the reduced size of the traps, microfluidic chips with different trapping geometries can be fabricated via replica moulding. We prove that these microfluidic chips can capture micromotors without the need for any external mechanism to control their motion.
我们证明了可以将催化微马达捕获在包含人字形和心形结构的微流控芯片中。尽管陷阱尺寸的缩小带来了挑战,但通过复制模塑可以制造具有不同捕获几何形状的微流控芯片。我们证明了这些微流控芯片可以捕获微马达,而无需任何外部机构来控制它们的运动。
