​The​ micropump for liquid feeding control is an advanced device featuring a tube-shaped elastic segment fixed into a shape-memory alloy (SMA) sheet's through-hole. The control section applies voltage to an electrode, managing the electric current to the SMA sheet. This precise electrical control enables the SMA sheet to deform and regulate the liquid flow accurately, making the micropump ideal for applications requiring precise liquid management.​
