Multiple actuation microvalves in wax microfluidics

A new type of electrically controlled and fully integrated wax microvalve is described in this work. The valve is designed for multiple actuation and has a small footprint (< 0.5 mm2), fast response (< 0.3 s) and low energy consumption (< 35 mJ).
