Özkayar, G. (author), Lötters, J.C. (author), Tichem, M. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author)Piezoelectric micropumps enable miniaturization in microfluidics for lab-on-a-chip applications such as Organs-on-chips (OoC). However, achieving a steady flow with these micropumps is a significant challenge because of the reciprocating motion of the displacing component. Although dampers are widely preferred for reducing ripples, they are not...conference paper 2022

Gunda, Arun (author), Özkayar, G. (author), Tichem, M. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author)Microvalves are important flow-control devices in many standalone and integrated microfluidic applications. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based pneumatic microvalves are commonly used but they generally require large peripheral connections that decrease portability. There are many alternatives found in the literature that use Si-based microvalves,...journal article 2020

Gunda, Arun (author), Özkayar, G. (author), Tichem, M. (author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author)Microvalves are important flow-control components in many standalone and integrated microfluidic circuits. Although there is a large body of work regarding<br/>microvalves, there is still a need for an easyto-fabricate, small-footprint, low-power device that can control both liquids and gases at moderate pressures. This paper details the...conference paper 2019
