Description

Miniature pressure sensing device for blood vessel chip
Technical Field

Background
In the field of biomedical research, the microfluidic technology provides a new technical platform for realizing a complex spatial structure of in-vitro living tissue by virtue of the characteristics of high sensitivity, low consumption, integration, controllability and the like, and pressure measurement in a microfluidic system plays an important role in biology and biomedicine. For example, in the heart cell culture, the pressure around the heart cells is measured by using an external pressure sensor on the basis of cell morphology, and then the gene condition of a human body and the contraction function of the cells are analyzed; the lung chip micro-device can simulate the key structure and function of a human lung unit, endothelial cells and epithelial cells are induced and cultured in the lung chip micro-device, and the mechanical characteristics of a human alveolar-capillary interface can be reproduced.
Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are a novel nanomaterial, combines the excellent conductivity of silver and the size effect of the nanowires, has excellent light transmittance, and is widely applied to flexible transparent electrodes; meanwhile, the percolation network formed of AgNWs possesses excellent flexibility, can accommodate large deformation, exhibits superior electrical conductivity and deformability, and is thus also used to prepare stretchable electronic devices.
Mechanics and biology research shows that in-vivo mechanics microenvironment of vascular cells participates in regulation and control of wall reconstruction, and local abnormal mechanical stimulation can cause abnormal cell function and induce cardiovascular diseases such as aneurysm, atherosclerosis and the like. The stress-growth relationship curve proposed by Mr. von Neuman Frames shows that cell growth is not linearly related to the magnitude of stress it is subjected to, and that mechanical stimuli that are too high or too low may cause completely different cellular responses. Therefore, to study a specific pathological mechanism, a corresponding device is required to test the effect of the pressure effect of the fluid on cell growth. In the literature (research progress of a pressure sensing technology in a microfluidic system, 2019, volume 38, ninth phase), Habibi M and the like use a surface micromachining method to manufacture a capacitive pressure sensor array on a glass substrate, the electrical pressure sensor has a complex process and high cost, requires metal deposition, etching and other steps, and generally uses materials with poor mechanical properties such as silicon, carbon fiber and the like, so that the sensor is damaged when being bent or impacted. Song W Z et al propose a chip-scale optical fluidic interferometric sensor for measuring fluid pressure based on an imaging method, by imaging and analyzing the interference pattern, which requires large-scale instrumentation to acquire images and perform complex analysis to estimate pressure. Jung T uses gallium indium tin liquid metal and a resistance pressure sensing technology to integrate pressure sensing in a micro-fluidic system by using a soft lithography technology, and prepares a micro-fluidic pressure sensor based on a thin film, and the device has strict requirements on sealing property, and is easy to cause pollution problems if metal liquid leaks.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a micro pressure sensing device for a vascular chip, which can be easily integrated with a microfluidic chip, has low cost, can be applied on a large scale, is integrated with an AgNWs-based stretchable conductive film, has high precision and excellent conductivity under low pressure, can be expanded into a multifunctional sensor, and is a good choice for measuring the pressure in a microchannel.
