Abstract
This paper defines a finite element modeling protocol developed on a reported fabricated hydrogel structures inside a microfluidic channel for the purpose of fluid control. The modeling was done using ANSYS 8.0 Multiphysics software. A reported convergence of polymerization time to Young’s modulus E was used. The modeling was done to verify the reported convergence.
