A Versatile Bonding Method for PDMS and SU-8 and Its Application towards a Multifunctional Microfluidic Device
This paper reports a versatile and irreversible bonding method for poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and SU-8. The method is based on epoxide opening and dehydration reactions between surface-modified PDMS and SU-8. A PDMS replica is first activated via the low-cost lab equipment, i.e., the oxygen plasma cleaner or the corona treater. Then both SU-8 and plasma-treated PDMS samples are functionalize...
متن کاملSimple and Low-cost Fabrication Protocol for Producing 100’s of Pneumatic Microvalves in All-pdms Substrates for Microfluidics Research
This work reports a unique fabrication protocol that would enable microfluidic researchers to prototype complex microfluidic circuits that require 100s (or less) of pneumatic microvalves in all-Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates. The protocol is simple, facilitates rapid prototyping, avoids some drawbacks of corona/plasma bonding, does not require cleanroom use and can be used for high or l...
متن کاملPolysiloxane layers created by sol-gel and photochemistry: ideal surfaces for rapid, low-cost and high-strength bonding of epoxy components to polydimethylsiloxane.
In this article we introduce and compare three techniques for low-cost and rapid bonding of stereolithographically structured epoxy components to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). In short, we first create a polysiloxane layer on the epoxy surface via silane surface coupling and polymerization. Afterwards, the modified epoxy surface can be bonded to a PDMS component at room temperature using a handh...
متن کاملInstantaneous room temperature bonding of a wide range of non-silicon substrates with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer mediated by a mercaptosilane.
This paper introduces an instantaneous and robust strategy for bonding a variety of non-silicon substrates such as thermoplastics, metals, an alloy, and ceramics to poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) irreversibly, mediated by one-step chemical modification using a mercaptosilane at room temperature followed by corona treatment to realize heterogeneous assembly also at room temperature. The mercapto ...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation of Enclosure’s Effect on Noise Reduction in Portable Generators (Technical Note)
The portable generators are the main means of compensating the shortage of national electricity power as in Iraq. However, their noise causes a huge disturbance, uncomforting and loss of concentration of the nearby resident. This problem requires a solution because most shops and residential houses use generators. Covering method is a simple and relatively low cost one for reduction of generato...
