    Abstract: A micro-fluidic system comprises at least one micro-channel having a wall (14), a plurality of ciliary actuator elements (71) attached to said wall (14), said ciliary actuator elements (71) having an original shape when not subjected to a liquid, and means for applying stimuli to said plurality of ciliary actuator elements (71) so as to cause a change in their shape from an initial shape to an end shape. The ciliary actuator elements (71) are adapted to respond to the presence of a particular liquid by changing their original shape into the initial shape. The response to the presence of the particular liquid may be a curving of the original shape of the ciliary actuator element. Application of stimuli to the plurality of ciliary actuator elements provides a way to locally manipulate the flow of complex fluids in a micro-fluidic system.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a micro-fluidic system, a method for manufacturing a micro-fluidic system and a method for controlling or manipulating a fluid flow through micro-channels of such a micro-fluidic system. The inner side of the wall of the micro-channel is provided with actuator elements. These actuator elements have a shape, an orientation and a geometry that includes a varying cross sectional area along a longitudinal axis. The varying cross sectional area includes one or more openings along the longitudinal axis of the actuator element. The actuator elements can change in shape and orientation as a response to an external stimulus. Through this change of the shape and orientation, the flow of a fluid through a micro-channel may be controlled and manipulated.
