This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at the University of Pittsburgh to develop microfluidic platforms that harness energy from chemical reactions to perform sustained mechanical work and enable portable fluidic devices with autonomous biomimetic functionality. Over a three-year period from November 2022 to October 2025, the University of Pittsburgh team will examine the effects of molecular-scale chemistry on microscale confined fluid flow and vice versa. They will uncover new modes of chemically induced motion and self-organization within confined fluids, and create self-regulating materials that transmit chemical information to drive and control autonomous transport of micro- to macro-scale fluidic systems. This collaborative research aims to advance knowledge across fields like fluid mechanics, catalysis, and chemical engineering.
