Abstract
We want to develop a soft-matter Mono pump for infant Ventricular Assist Device (VAD). In this research, we have developed the Mono pump, which is made of soft materials and hard materials to study the effect of applying the soft materials to the Mono pump. The stator of the 3D printed Mono pump was made with biocompatible soft materials called Inter Cross-linking Network (ICN) gels. We believe that ICN gels have not only specific toughness and low friction but also excellent biocompatibility that can prevent blood cell trauma and the transplant rejection. Moreover, the rotor is made of hard materials using commercial resin or filament based 3D printers, (Form 2 and Flashforge Creator). Finally, we will compare the practical and theoretical displacement from the flow rate measurement to implement the best performance of the Mono pump in practical use.
