State-of-the-art lab chip sensors for environmental water monitoring (2011, background): “…PDMS outshines other substrates in its high optical clarity, gas permeability, deformable mechanics, and ability to produce prototype devices quickly, many reports also suggest some drawbacks to PDMS including analyte absorption, evaporation, and low throughput production (Mukhopadhyay 2007, 2009).”
Point-of-care microfluidic devices for pathogen detection (2018, background): “…as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), photosensitive silicon, poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) (Ionescu-Zanetti et al., 2005; Becker and Gärtner, 2008; Mukhopadhyay, 2007; Duffy et al., 1998) and biopolymers such as calcium alginate (Ertl et al., 2004) and cross-linked gelatin (Ertl et al., 2004;…”
