Abstract
Magnetic artificial cilia are bio-inspired micro-hairs covering a surface that can be actuated using a magnetic field to pump or mix fluids in microfluidic devices. This paper presents a novel fabrication method to realize magnetic artificial cilia using a roll-printing process. When integrated in a closedloop channel, the artificial cilia were shown to be capable of generating substantial microfluidic pumping using external magnetic actuation. The development of this cleanroom-free, high speed and potentially large area method of production of artificial cilia is another step towards their implementation in real-life applications.
