The polymer membrane is actuated by membrane actuators (6,7) containing metals, carbon nanotubes and electrically conductive polymers. The fluid inflow and inflow processes are performed through a micro-channel. Several nanoscale surface structures are provided at specific regions of micro-channel, such that directed pumping action is achieved by direction-dependent flow resistance. An independent claim is included for a method for producing micro pump.de620MikropumpeMicro pump of micro-fluidic chip in micro-fluidic lab-on-chip system for, e.g. chemical and biological sample analysis, has several nanoscale surface structures that are provided at regions of fluid inflow and outflow micro channelpatent102011107046
