Pulsed Laser Deposition and Laser-Induced Backward Transfer to Modify Polydimethylsiloxane

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a silicone-elastomer that owes its large application in the field of stretchable electronics to chemical and thermal stability, transparency, flexibility, non-toxicity, compatibility, low cost. PDMS versatile material because it can be used both as an elastic substrate and, after functionalization, active for design electronics. One possible route functionalization PDMS, thus becoming together with numerous metals semiconductors, embedding conductive nanomaterials. Presently, pulsed laser deposition (PLD) laser-induced backward transfer (LIBT) are deposit carbon- based on polydimethylsiloxane. In this study, we explore compare surface treatments, advantages, disadvantages different employed techniques environments. The modification wettability, elasticity, morphology, composition, optical characteristics polydimethylsiloxane will evaluated by such scanning electron microscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, sessile drop method.
