| Research Abstract |
Since a micropump with a moving part including a permanent magnet can be driven by external magnetic fields, it has a great potential in implantable medical applications. This study focused on two pumping methods that the principal investigator has developed so far. One is an angular oscillation pumping method, in which an elastic film is angularly oscillated, and the other is a piston pumping method based on asymmetry vibration of a piston. The feasibility of increasing the pumping pressure suitable for implantable use was experimentally investigated in details. As a result, the serial connection of micropumps using the oscillating elastic film successfully generated high pressure over 10kPa.
