Abstract
The fabrication and characterization results of a temperature sensitive hydrogel micro valve based on the polymer N-isopropylacrylamide is presented. The hydrogel actuator was fabricated by in-situ polymerization using standard UV photolithography. The valve was opened and closed by applying a temperature change from 16 to 30°C. Potential uses for the valves include skin triggered valves for biomedical micro devices.
