Abstract

Micrometer-sized hair-like structures called cilia,are abundant in nature and have various functionalities such as fluid pumping and sensing. Many efforts have been made to mimic the fluid pumping function of cilia, but most of the fabrication processes of these "artificial cilia" are tedious and expensive, hindering their practical applications. In this paper a cost-effective in situ fabrication technique is demonstrated. The cilia are constructed by self-assembly of micron sized magnetic beads and encapsulated with soft polymer coatings. Actuation of the cilia induces an effective fluid flow, and the cilia lengths and distribution can be adjusted by varying magnetic bead concentration and fabrication parameters.
