Modeling of Oxygen-Inhibited Free Radical Photopolymerization in a PDMS Microfluidic Device
Free-radical photopolymerization performed within PDMS microfluidic devices is now used for a variety of applications. We propose, through model and experiment, that atmospheric oxygen diffusing in through the porous PDMS is responsible for the presence, under UV light, of a thin, un-cross-linked film of oligomer abutting the walls of an all-PDMS device. After the advent of light exposure, an i...
متن کاملFunctionalized glass coating for PDMS microfluidic devices
Microfluidic devices can perform multiple laboratory functions on a single, compact, and fully integrated chip. However, fabrication of microfluidic devices is difficult, and current methods, such as glass-etching or soft-lithography in PDMS, are either expensive or yield devices with poor chemical robustness. We introduce a simple method that combines the simple fabrication of PDMS with superi...
متن کاملPdms Microfluidic Devices with Ptfe Passivated Channels
PDMS microfluidic devices whose whole inner surfaces are covered with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) are described. The major problems of PDMS fluidic devices in practical use, are surface degradation with organic solvents and unexpected absorption of chemical materials. In order to overcome these problems, spin/dip-coated perfluoro amorphous polymer is used to form the passivation PTFE layer o...
متن کاملRapid fabrication of microfluidic PDMS devices from reusable PDMS molds using laser ablation
The conventional fabrication methods for microfluidic devices require cleanroom processes that are costly and time-consuming. We present a novel, facile, and low-cost method for rapid fabrication of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molds and devices. The method consists of three main fabrication steps: female mold (FM), male mold (MM), and chip fabrication. We use a CO2 laser cutter to pattern a thi...
متن کاملFunctional patterning of PDMS microfluidic devices using integrated chemo-masks.
Microfluidic devices can be molded easily from PDMS using soft lithography. However, the softness of the resulting microchannels makes it difficult to photolithographically pattern their surface properties, as is needed for applications such as double emulsification. We introduce a new patterning method for PDMS devices, using integrated oxygen reservoirs fabricated simultaneously with the micr...
