Motivated by the increasing demand of wearable and soft electronics, liquid metal (LM)-based microfluidics has been subjected to tremendous development in the past decade, especially in electronics, robotics, and related fields, due to the unique advantages of LMs that combines the conductivity and deformability all-in-one. LMs can be integrated as the core component into microfluidic systems in the form of either droplets/marbles or composites embedded by polymer materials with isotropic and anisotropic distribution. The LM microfluidic systems are found to have broad applications in deformable antennas, soft diodes, biomedical sensing chips, transient circuits, mechanically adaptive materials, etc. Herein, the recent progress in the development of LM-based microfluidics and their potential applications are summarized. The current challenges toward industrial applications and future research orientation of this field are also summarized and discussed.

基于液态金属的软微流体。
受可穿戴和软电子产品需求增长的推动,基于液态金属(LM)的微流体在过去十年中得到了巨大的发展,特别是在电子,机器人和相关领域,这归功于LM结合了LM的独特优势。导电性和变形性合而为一。LM可以以液滴/大理石或复合材料的形式(以各向同性和各向异性分布的聚合物材料嵌入)的形式作为核心组件集成到微流体系统中。人们发现,LM微流体系统在可变形天线,软二极管,生物医学传感芯片,瞬态电路,机械适应性材料等方面具有广泛的应用。在此,总结了基于LM的微流体技术的发展及其潜在应用的最新进展。
