Performance Analysis of a Microfluidic Pump Based on Combined Actuation of the Piezoelectric Effect and Liquid Crystal Backflow Effect
A novel combined actuation method based on the piezoelectric effect and liquid crystal backflow effect is proposed in this paper. The coupling mechanism of a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) and liquid crystal (LC) in a combined driving mode is analyzed, and the governing equations of electromechanica...
