1. A fluidic device comprising a body comprising a stack of four body layers:

  • a first body layer;

    a second body layer;

    a third body layer; and

    a fourth body layer, said body enclosing a hydraulic microcircuit for moving a fluid, wherein;

    i) a plurality of diaphragm members are sealedly sandwiched between said second body layer and said third body layer;

    ii) said plurality of diaphragm members comprise a plurality of thin film materials;

    iii) said plurality of thin film materials are dissimilar materials comprising an irreversibly stretchable thin film and an elastomeric breathable thin film; and

    iv) said fluidic device is configured such that movement of said fluid in said hydraulic microcircuit is powered and controlled by at least one diaphragm member of a pneumatic microcircuit operatively linked thereto.
