Abstract

Background: Bionics applied to micropumps is the most advanced technology currently accessible. The widespread use of microfluidic transport technology in fields like drug delivery and chemical analysis has made it a current research hotspot. As a core component in the microfluidic transport process, the micropump is a key part of the breakthrough.

Objective: The study aims to summarize the engineering applications of various bionic micropumps in order to serve as a resource for future research in related fields.

Methods: Study the application of bionic technologies that mimic fish tail fin oscillation, female mosquito blood sucking, honeybee nectar ingestion, and plant stomatal transpiration in various micropumps by sorting out typical research results.

Results: This study examines the current state of bionic micropumps research and problems, as well as anticipates the future direction of functional bionic technology in micropumps.

Conclusion: In this paper, we review the functional bionic technology used in micropumps and study some of the physiological processes of specific creatures from a biological perspective. We also show how effectively using bionic design can enhance the overall functionality of micropumps. However, man's knowledge of the natural world is still very limited. Functional bionics technology will shine in the area of engineering application as a result of the investigation of materials, processing technology, and biological principles.

Keywords: MEMS, micropump, biomimetics, biology to engineering, microfluidic transportation, mechanical structure.
