Development of Micro Selective Laser Melting: The State of the Art and Future Perspectives (2019, methodology): “The direct AM of microfluidic devices has been attempted, but the productivity of this method was found to be much lower than that of typical injection molding techniques [146,147].”
Cyclic olefin polymers: emerging materials for lab-on-a-chip applications (2010, methodology): “Hydrophobicity can then be increased locally by ‘writing’ fluoropolymers onto the channels with a flit pen (Steigert et al. 2007).”
The centrifugal microfluidic Bio-Disk platform (2007, methodology): “We established a polymer prototyping chain for the structuring, surface modification and sealing of the substrates [55].”
Bonding of thermoplastic polymer microfluidics (2009, unknown): “2007), and COC (Ahn et al. 2004; Bhattacharyya and Klapperich 2006; Riegger et al. 2007; Tsao et al. 2008; Steigert et al. 2007; Fredrickson et al. 2006; Olivero and Fan 2008).”
PDMS-Based Microfluidic Devices for Cell Culture (2018, background): “There are several different polymers that have been used for fabrication of microfluidic devices, including PMMA [47], polycarbonate (PC) [48], polyvinyl chloride (PVC) [49], polyimide (PI) [50], the family of cyclic olefin polymers (COC) [51], and PS [52].”
