A Self-Assembly Approach to Chemical Micropatterning of Poly(dimethylsiloxane)

摘要

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers are widely used in biomedical devices,such as medical implants,catheters,and contact lenses,because of their biocompatibility and physical properties.PDMS elastomers can be easily molded into (sub)micrometer features and are optically transparent and relatively chemically inert,which are ideal properties for applications in soft-lithographic techniques.
