Phase-separated composite for microfluidic applications

[0106] figure 1 shows a partial schematic cross-section of a complex 1 with a channel-like structure according to a first embodiment of the invention, equivalent to along Figure 5 View of midline II-II. The composite comprises poly(meth)acrylic material 10 provided on a substrate 20 . The ratio of the height of the top layer indicated by "t" (measured from the center of the channel) to the height of the complex indicated by "T" (measured from the center of the channel) was as described above.

[0107] although figure 1 is schematic, but it can be seen that the channel-like structure does not have a square cross-section, but a semi-elliptical cross-section. In fact, the inventors have found that in practice most complexes made according to the invention will use figure 1 similar structure in .

[0108] Moreover, the angle α (such as figure 1 shown in ) is preferably as described above, which can achieve further stability in the wide range of applications of the present inve
