Mechanical Displacement Micropump
These use the motion of a solid (such as a gear or diaphragm) or a fluid to generate the pressure difference needed to move fluid.
They need a physical actuator for the pumping and they have moving parts.
Type include piezoelectric, electrostatic, thermo pneumatic, electromagnetic, bimetallic, Ion Conductive Polymer Films (ICPF)and Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) . Li, Tao et al.. Compact, power-efficient architecture using microvalves and

Electrostatic Micropump
These use electrostatic forces in their actuation mechanism. The pressure difference induced by the membrane deflection in the pump chamber forces fluid in the reservoir to flow in the microchannels.
The electrostatic force is defined as “the electrical force of attraction and repulsion induced by an electric field” where like charges repel, unlike charges attract.
Electrostatic actuator has only a small stroke and the deflection of the diaphragm can be easily controlled by the applied voltage.
Low power consumption and fast response . Well suited for peristaltic pumping.

Piezoelectric Micropump
Piezoelectric mechanism finds common use in the reciprocating micropumps of drug delivery and other biomedical applications.
Main advantages of piezoelectric actuators include large actuation force, fast response and simple structure.
Fabrication is complex as is processing of piezoelectric materials.
Disadvantage of the comparatively high actuation voltage and small stroke volume.

Thermopneumatic Micropump
A chamber full of air is periodically and alternately expanded and compressed by a pair of heater and cooler.
The periodic change in the volume of the chamber gives the membrane a regular momentum so fluid can flow out.
This type generates relatively large induced pressure and membrane displacement.
Two disadvantages are the need for the driving power to be maintained at a constant and specific level and the slow response.
The thermo-pneumatic actuation has a thermally induced volume change and/or phase change of fluids sealed in a cavity with at least one compliant wall

Shape Memory Alloy Micropump
SMAs are metals that show two unique properties such as pseudo elasticity and Shape Memory (SM).
The diaphragm of SMA micropumps is made mostly of Titanium/Nickel alloy (TiNi)
Transformation between two solid phases: the austenite phase (at high temperatures) and the marten-site phase (at low temperatures).
Considerable forces are generated if subjected to mechanical constraint while returning to the pre-deformed shape.
High force-to-volume ratio, ability to recover large transformation stress and strain upon heating and cooling processes, high damping capacity, chemical resistance and biocompatibility.

Bimetallic Micropump
Bimetallic actuation functions differently on different Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of materials.
The diaphragm of bimetallic micropump is made of two different metals having different CTEs.
Bonding mechanism of dissimilar materials and their subjection to temperature changes induce thermal stresses because the coefficients of the metals differ, providing a means for actuation.
The implementation extremely simple with large forces generated but the deflection of a diaphragm is only can be achieved by thermal alternation.
The key advantage is that bimetallic micropumps require relatively low voltages than the other types of micropumps.
Their main disadvantage is their unsuitability to high-frequency operation.

Ionic-Conductive Micropump
Polymer MEMS actuators that can be actuated in aqueous environments with large deflection.
They are actuated by stress gradient from the ionic movement due to an electric field.
Composed of polyelectrolyte film with both sides chemically plated with platinum.
The two films have high electrical conductivity. One diaphragm-end is fixed. An ICPF diaphragm can be controlled by
bending it upside or downside in certain value of voltages applied to the electrodes within a certain duration.

Ionic-Conductive Micropump Continued…
The presence of an electric field causes the ions in both sides of the polymer molecule chain to move to the cathode.
Simultaneously, each ion with a positive charge will take some water molecules and move towards the cathode. The ionic movement causes the cathode to expand and the anode to shrink.
The presence of an alternating voltage signal will bend the films alternately.
ICPF actuators have advantages such as low driving voltage, quick response and biocompatibility. They can work in aqueous environments.

Non-Mechanical Pumps
Electrokinetic micropumps often use an electric field to pull ions within the pumping channel, in turn dragging along the bulk fluid by momentum transfer due to viscosity.
Magneto kinetic micropumps typically use Lorentz force on the bulk fluid to drive microchannel flow.
Dynamic pumps do not usually have valves; they obtain directionality from the direction of the applied force.
