“…12, the magnet with 4 mm diameter gives the highest displacement as compared to 5 mm and 6 mm diameter magnet, which is contrary with the equation (4). This is due to the effect of the surface contact ratio, where the maximum membrane displacement only occurs at the 0.4 of CRs [8]. When the magnet diameter is increased over 4 mm, the membrane displacement is decreasing.…”

“…In order to deflect the membrane sheet, the surface contact ratio between the permanent magnet and the membrane sheet should be less than 1. For this study, the surface contact ratio between the magnet and thin sheet membrane is set to 0.4 [8]. The membrane edges are set to a fixed constraint mode so that the membrane sheet able to deflect when a force is applied.…”

“…The evaluation was studied on the flow rate, Q, performance under a zero backpressure condition. The microchannel chip (body), and the actuation module for this setup were based on our previously reported work [8]. The fabricated membrane sheet from this work was embedded on the top of the microchannel chip to form a single microchannel module device.…”

“…A thin sheet membrane is considered to be the key functional component in a mechanically driven micropump system, especially in microvalve [1][2][3][4][5][6] and valveless [7,8] micropump family. The external force acting on the membrane sheet pulls up or down the diaphragm to allow the fluid to move inside the channel.…”

This paper demonstrates the characteristic of a thin sheet membrane for a mechanical driven micropump system by using a spin coater technique. The moving diaphragm for the micropump system was made from a PDMS polymer material. A plastic lidded dish with a diameter of 100 mm and height of 15 mm was used as a mould for this study. There were three variables that influence the membrane thickness formation during the spin coating process, which are the polymer weight, spin speed and the spinning time. It was observed that the final parameters to fabricate a thin sheet membrane are 2.5 g of PDMS polymer weight, 500 rpm of spinning speed and 180 s of spin time to yield a 314.82 ± 3.6556 µm thin membrane. This characteristic study is foresee could serve as a design guideline to fabricate a thin sheet membrane for a mechanical driven micropump system by using a petri dish as an alternative to a silicon wafer.
