Valveless flow reversal by a pH responsive supramolecular micropump

Abstract

A valveless micropump was designed via dynamic supramolecular interaction between beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and benzimidazole (BzI). It shows flow reversal in response to the pH change. An L-shaped microchannel was used to demonstrate the flow reversibility over long distances.
