Elastic Sponges: Hydrophilic Sponges for Leaf‐Inspired Continuous Pumping of Liquids (Adv. Sci. 6/2017)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1700028, Xuechang Zhou and co-workers describe a leaf-like pumping strategy by mimicking the transpiration process through leaves for autonomous and continuous liquid transport enabled by durable hydrophilic sponges. Highly-defined flow patterns, chemical gradients, and “stop-flow” manipulation of the flow were achieved by simply integrating the sponges to microfluidic devices.
