Abstract
In this chapter, we aim to examine the effects of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) on the behavior of microvalves made of both temperature and pH-sensitive hydrogels. We first analyze the thermomechanical equilibrium response of temperature-sensitive hydrogel microvalves in a T-junction flow sorter accounting for FSI effects. Then, we study stationary (equilibrium) response of pH-sensitive hydrogel microvalves through an FSI approach. Finally, a fully coupled fluid–solid interaction study on the transient behavior of pH-sensitive hydrogel-based microvalves to show the importance of transient analysis.
