Abstract

Microfluidic devices are widely used in biomedical applications owing to their inherent advantages. Currently, most microfluidic devices are fabricated using microfabrication techniques, which require specialized equipment. This paper outlines a microfabrication-free method for making microfluidic devics via integrating two accessible and simple fabrication techniques, hydrogel molding and electrospinning (ES). Preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of the method and potential for incorporating complex channels and device optimization.
