Article Title: Acoustic Waves Coupling with Polydimethylsiloxane in Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Platform
doi: 10.1002/advs.202407293
Figure Lengend Snippet: Reconfigurable acoustofluidic platform with disposable microfluidic chip and reusable SAW transducer: a) Oxygen plasma surface treatment of the lower surface of the microchannel and the PDMS membrane surface. b) Bonding of the plasma‐treated surfaces of the channel and the membrane to form a disposable microfluidic chip. c) Coupling with self‐adhesion: the disposable PDMS chip attached on top of the SAW device, viz. composed of IDT and piezoelectric substrate. d) Replacement of the used microfluidic chip and re‐use of the SAW device.
Article Snippet: The wave attenuation in the PDMS membrane, for variable acoustic wavelengths and membrane thicknesses, was investigated to understand its effects on ATH and acoustic pressure field by utilizing the Electrostatics, Solid Mechanics, and Piezoelectric Effect modules in COMSOL Multiphysics.
