A microfluidic chip and its use in characterising the particle-scale behaviour of microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) (2018, background): “PDMS consists of repeated units of –O-Si(CH3)2-, with methyl groups (-CH3) being converted to silanol groups (Si-O-H) after exposure to oxygen plasma (Zhou et al., 2010).”
A Review of Micromodels and Their Use in Two‐Phase Flow Studies (2012, methodology): “An alternative treatment is to force the PDMS surface to have specii c wetting properties and become purely hydrophobic. h is can be done with the application of a mixture of silane with ethanol (Zhou et al., 2010).”
Properties and Applications of PDMS for Biomedical Engineering: A Review (2021, methodology): “[19] suggest a combination of gas-phase with wet chemical methods in order to achieve a better surface stability in a shorter treatment time.”
