We develop a new method to build microactuators using stimuli-responsive hydrogels. The hydrogel is synthesized with covalent attachment to the microchannel bottom walls prior to closing the microsystem, contrarily to previous approaches. We use a new stimuli-responsive hydrogel films synthesis pathway. This synthesis is based on thiol-ene click chemistry. The formation of films is achieved by adding bifunctional thiol molecules as cross-linkers to ene-functionalized preformed polymers on thiol-modified surfaces. The cross-linking and grafting are simultaneously performed either by thermal activation or UV-irradiation. Hydrogel films and micro-patterns are easily obtained in a wide range of thickness from hundred nanometers to several micro...
