摘要: A microfluidic device comprising independently addressable arrays of interdigitated electrodes can be used to assembly and transport large-scale microparticle structures. The method uses collective phenomena in a negatively polarized suspension exposed high-gradient strong ac electric field assemble the particles into predetermined locations then them collectively work area for final by sequentially energizing electrode arrays.
