Dual-Band Dual-Mode Textile Antenna on PDMS Substrate for Body-Centric Communications (2017, background): “On top of that, it is water-resistant, transparent, and thermally stable [8].”
Review of polymer MEMS micromachining (2015, methodology): “The use of PDMS to construct microfluidic devices by casting pre-polymer onto a rigid mold has found widespread adoption among the research community [2].”
Mechanical characterization of bulk Sylgard 184 for microfluidics and microengineering (2014, background): “There are few [14, 20] reported characterizations of the bulk mechanical properties (thickness > 200 μm) of cross-linked PDMS under well defined curing temperature conditions.”
Extended PDMS stiffness range for flexible systems (2015, neutral): “On the other hand, it is also shown in [21] that the wetting contact angle changes very little considering mixing ratios from 19:1 to near 1:1.”
PDMS-Based Microfluidic Devices for Cell Culture (2018, methodology): “These devices are a desirable substrate for 2D cell cultures, although PDMS has also been successfully used for making 3D polymer-based scaffolds as replicas from a 3D printed sacrificial mold [58].”
Properties and Applications of PDMS for Biomedical Engineering: A Review (2021, background): “As they are increasingly commercialized, the necessity to find processes and materials that enable mass production while reducing cost has emerged [21].”
