Abstract

Microfluidic devices are widely used in biomedicalapplications owing to their inherent advantages.Microfabrication techniques are common methods forfabricating microfluidic devices, which require specializedequipment. This paper presents a multi-layer constructionprocess for producing microfluidic devices via integrating twoaccessible fabrication techniques -hydrogel molding, amicrofabrication-free method, and electrospinning (ES). Theformed microchannels were examined via analyzingmicrographs. Preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility ofthe method and potential for incorporating complex channelsand device optimization.
