How to engineer complex chemical sensors using only paper and wax
In short: Discover the precise mechanics of paper microfluidics. This tutorial demonstrates how to construct functional devices through wax curing and droplet testing to create effective chemical sensors.
Part of the MIT 6.S079 Nanomaker course, this technical guide explores the fabrication of paper microfluidic devices. The process involves critical steps such as wax curing, conducting droplet tests, and selecting appropriate channel dimensions.
The video further demonstrates practical applications for these low-cost devices, specifically focusing on their utility in chemical sensing and fluid mixing.
