Abstract
Soft fluidic devices are important for wearable applications involving mass and heat transfer. Based on charge injection electrohydrodynamics, a fluidic fiber pump made of polyurethane and copper wires has been reported to show outstanding performances in terms of pressure, flow rate and power density. Its flexible fiber shape allows integration compatible with textiles, opening new possibilities in the ever-growing field of wearable technology.
