Description1.0 PROBLEM INTRODUCTION
The field of microfluidics has been heavily facilitated using elastic polymers, the most widely used, being polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). With PDMS, nanoscale geometry can be fabricated using various methods such as soft lithography molding [ ], fused deposited material (FDM) 3D printing molds [ ], FDM 3D printed sacrificial mold [ ], and 3D stereolithography (SLA) [ ]. The high elasticity of PDMS allows an exaggerated interface between fluid and structure. This exaggerated interface can be a novel approach to defining fluid-structure interactions (FSI) in nano/micro-scale fluidics. This study will investigate, both experimentally and theoretically, long high aspect ratio channels with thin wall geometry of PDMS subject to a range of known reservoir pressures.
