Microfluidics 5: PDMS Microchannel Bonding on Glass/PDMS v4
Microfluidic chips, made of PDMS, are one-side open when fabricated. Another layer of glass, PDMS, or etc is needed. Liquid seal is provided by complete covalent bonding between layers or by external forces like threads, magnets or similar factors. This protocol describes the covalent bonding of PDMS on glass by air plasma technique.

Low-cost optical manipulation using hanging droplets of PDMS [PDF]
We propose and demonstrate a low-cost optical micromanipulation system that makes use of simple microfrabricated components coupled to a smartphone camera for imaging. Layering hanging droplets of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on microscope coverslips, and

Thin film diffusion barrier formation in PDMS microcavities [PDF]
We describe a method to form glass like thin film barrier in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microcavities. The reactive fragments for the surface reaction were created from O2 and hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) in RF plasma environment.

A Self-Healing Polymer with Fast Elastic Recovery upon Stretching
The design of polymers that exhibit both good elasticity and self-healing properties is a highly challenging task. In spite of this, the literature reports highly stretchable self-healing polymers, but most of them exhibit slow elastic recovery behavior,

Absorption capacity, kinetics and mechanical behaviour in dry and wet states of hydrophobic DEDMS/TEOS-based silica aerogels [PDF]
This work is a new approach to the study of the structural, mechanical and absorption properties of hybrid organic/inorganic silica-based aerogels. Diethoxydimethylsilane and tetraethoxysilane have been used as precursors.
