A 3D-MICROPRINTED COAXIAL NOZZLE FOR FABRICATING LONG, FLEXIBLE MICROFLUIDIC TUBING.
A variety of emerging applications, particularly those in medical and soft robotics fields, are predicated on the ability to fabricate long, flexible meso/microfluidic tubing with high customization. To address this need, here we present a hybrid additive manufacturing (or "three-dimensional (3D) printing") strategy that involves three key steps: (i) using the "Vat Photopolymerization (VPP) technique, "Liquid-Crystal Display (LCD)" 3D printing to print a bulk microfluidic device with three inlets and three concentric outlets; (ii) using "Two-Photon Direct Laser Writing (DLW)" to 3D microprint a coaxial nozzle directly atop the concentric outlets of the bulk microdevice, and then (iii) extruding paraffin oil and a liquid-phase photocurable resin through the coaxial nozzle and into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channel for UV exposure, ultimately producing the desired tubing. In addition to fabricating the resulting tubing-composed of polymerized photomaterial-at arbitrary lengths (e.g., > 10 cm), the distinct input pressures can be adjusted to tune the inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) of the fabricated tubing. For example, experimental results revealed that increasing the driving pressure of the liquid-phase photomaterial from 50 kPa to 100 kPa led to fluidic tubing with IDs and ODs of 291±99 μm and 546±76 μm up to 741±31 μm and 888±39 μm, respectively. Furthermore, preliminary results for DLW-printing a microfluidic "M" structure directly atop the tubing suggest that the tubing could be used for "ex situ DLW (esDLW)" fabrication, which would further enhance the utility of the tubing.
