DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfa.2019.04.069
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.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eurpolymj.2018.08.003
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.
