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 کاملOxygen Plasma-free Microfluidic Device Sealing
In the current work we describe the development of an oxygen plasma-free microfluidic device sealing method with tunable properties. In particular, it allows the end-user to bond PDMS-glass microfluidic devices using nothing more than some mild acidic buffer, and access to an oven, and achieve burst pressures of more than 80 psi, or 0.55 MPa. The minimal requirements on the processing steps mak...
متن کاملMonodisperse polyethylene glycol diacrylate hydrogel microsphere formation by oxygen-controlled photopolymerization in a microfluidic device.
PEG-based hydrogels have become widely used as drug delivery and tissue scaffolding materials. Common among PEG hydrogel-forming polymers are photopolymerizable acrylates such as polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA). Microfluidics and microfabrication technologies have recently enabled the miniaturization of PEGDA structures, thus enabling many possible applications for nano- and micro- struc...
متن کاملMicrofluidic synthesis of monodisperse PDMS microbeads as discrete oxygen sensors
We describe the creation of monodisperse microbeads of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) via a microfluidic approach. Using a flow-focusing configuration, a PDMS precursor solution is dispersed into microdroplets within an aqueous continuous phase. These droplets are collected and thermally cured off-chip into solid microbeads. Our microfluidic technique allows for direct integration of payloads into...
متن کاملIn situ fabrication of macroporous polymer networks within microfluidic devices by living radical photopolymerization and leaching.
Novel fabrication techniques and polymer systems are being explored to enable mass production of low cost microfluidic devices. In this contribution we discuss a new fabrication scheme for making microfluidic devices containing porous polymer components in situ. Contact lithography, a living radical photopolymer (LRPP) system and salt leaching were used to fabricate multilayer microfluidic devi...
