Researches on the Realization of a Electromechanical Micropump

The paper aims to determine the characteristics of smart materials with shape memory and to find out their resistance to repeated cycles of use. The system consists of an electromechanical micropump prototype based on current-controlled Nitinol spring elements for the purpose of dosing a liquid. In the paper there will be presented characteristics concretized in the variation of liquid quantities dosing through the containers depending on the position of the shape memory material elements. The results will lead to the development of special applications with intelligent materials, of some high-performance micropumps with applicability in the medical and automotive field.
