Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid transport device on the surface of an electric field responsive elastomer microstructure, comprising a substrate and micro-nano materials, the substrate is an elastomer with electric response performance, and the substrate is selected from Dow Corning 184 polydimethylsiloxane, acrylate Any one of elastomers and polyurethane elastomers. The invention also discloses a liquid transportation method, in which a V-shaped prism with a V-shaped structure is obtained by covering the surface of the elastomer substrate, and an electric field is used to asymmetrically stretch the elastomer substrate with a V-shaped structure, The asymmetric Laplace pressure difference is used to generate the driving force, and the continuous and rapid transport of droplets is realized by continuously repeating this process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electric field-induced dielectric elastomer microstructure surface-driven liquid transport, and more specifically relates to a device, preparation method and application for controlling the asymmetric change of surface structure and wettability by electric field-responsive micro-nano materials. Background technique [0002] External field-responsive wettable materials have broad application prospects in liquid transportation, anti-fog and anti-icing, and preparation of microreactors. [0003] At present, studies have shown that surface structure or composition gradients can be achieved through light, electricity, magnetism, external forces, etc., and then surface wettability gradients can be realized, and liquid droplets can be oriented to move, and then applied to liquid transport. The construction of micro-nano structures on the surface greatly increases the hydrophobicity of the surface (see reference [1] Y. Zhe...
