title = "A bistable microfluidic phase change actuator and optimization of its response times",
abstract = "In this paper we present a robust, bistable microfluidic phase change (PC) actuator for microfluidic valves and pumps that can be operated using a highly integrated platform for individual control of up to 588 thermally driven actuators. Furthermore we investigated the correlation between the response times of the actuator and heating power of different resistors as well as the impact of the phase change material (PCM) volume on this correlation.",
