Abstract
Disclosed is a fluidic device including at least: a) a solid matrix; b) a textile component, embedded in the matrix and mechanically cohesive with the matrix; c) at least one channel embedded in the matrix and entangled with the textile component, the channel being at least partly open. A method for making a fluidic device includes providing a textile component including support fibers and at least a movable fiber entangled with the textile, embedding at least part of the textile and part of the movable fiber, in a matrix precursor material, applying a treatment in order to obtain a solid matrix.
