Hydrophilic elastomers for microcontact printing of polar inks.
A moderately hydrophilic, thermoplastic elastomer (poly(ether-ester)) was investigated as a stamp material for microcontact printing of a polar ink: pentaerythritol-tetrakis-(3-mercaptopropionate). Stamps with a relief structure were produced from this polymer by hot embossing, and a comparison was made with conventional poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and oxygen-plasma-treated PDMS. It is shown ...
متن کاملBeyond rheology modifications: hydrophilically modified silicone elastomers provide new benefits.
The development of silicone elastomers with hydrophilic functionality in the form of PEG substituents provides benefits beyond the rheology modification (thickening) that can be achieved with silicone elastomers that lack functional substituents. We have shown that PEG-modified dimethicone crosspolymer (PEG-DCP) is an effective emulsifier for water-in-silicone (w/s) emulsions where the continuo...
متن کامل10. Silicones as Mold-Making Elastomers
Long ago, people must have realised that clay could be used to take imprints of simple objects like a leaf, or later, a coin. Carefully withdrawing the clay gave a negative of the object or a mold in which other materials like plaster could be cast to reproduce the original. Clay is still used today to make molds, particularly to reproduce museum pieces like statues, not only because it is inex...
متن کاملRibbon Formation in Twist-Nematic Elastomers
Nematic Elastomers (NEs) possess very interesting properties stemming from the interaction between liquid crystal order and rubber elasticity. For such materials, thermally-induced phase transition from the isotropic to the nematic phase may induce very large distortions, which in turn can affect the overall configuration of a macroscopic specimen. The behavior of NEs can be well modeled within...
متن کاملFeasibility of using mixtures of silicone elastomers and silicone oils to model the mechanical behaviour of biological tissues
Mixtures of silicone elastomer and silicone oil were prepared and the values of their Young's moduli, E, determined in compression. The mixtures had volume fractions, [Formula: see text], of silicone oil in the range of 0-0.73. Measurements were made, under displacement control, for strain rates, [Formula: see text], in the range of 0.04-3.85 s(-1). The behaviour of [Formula: see text] as a fun...
