Rational Design of Smart Microfluidics in Responsive Channels — •Arwin Marbini — Albert-Ludwigs Universität Freiburg

Responsive microfluidics offers exciting potential for self-regulating biomimetic systems. This study explores bifurcating microchannel networks with pressure-sensitive resistances, combining experiments with simulations based on the Hagen-Poiseuille equation and a linear model. These methods extract critical, experimentally inaccessible parameters under steady-state and dynamic conditions. Our findings enable the design of adaptable microfluidic networks, unlocking precise flow control for future applications in biology, soft robotics, and advanced material systems.
