In this paper, we report on the fabrication and testing of a hydrogel-actuated smart microvalve for biomedical applications. The three-layered microvalve is composed of a stimuli-sensitive ìintelligentî hydrogel sandwiched between a porous silicon membrane and a bossed PDMS flexible diaphragm. The entrapped hydrogel in response to changes in the
