Abstract: Abstract Evaporation of about 6.0 μL ethanol/water droplets with different ethanol concentrations on both planar and pillar-like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces was studied. A small fraction of the as-fabricated pillar-like PDMS surface is Wenzel-wetted while other part… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Despite the distinct advantages of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) for biomedical applications, because of its hydrophobic nature, suffers from non-specific protein adsorption and platelet adhesion and activation when used as a blood-contacting material. To confer hydrophilicity… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/coatings9010036
Abstract: The properties of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface were modified by a one-step deposition of plasma polymerized hexamethyldisilazane (pp-HMDS) by the arc discharge method. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analytical techniques… read more here.
