• Self-powered integrated microfluidic point-of-care low-cost enabling (SIMPLE) chip (2017, background): “thermally aged the blank surface to prevent rapid hydrophobic surface contact angle recovery, then treated the blank surface with oxygen plasma making the surface hydrophilic (42).”
• Advantages and challenges of microfluidic cell culture in polydimethylsiloxane devices. (2015, background): “Although the hydrophobic recovery of PDMS can be attenuated to some extent (Eddington et al., 2006), this limits the feasibility of oxidizing the PDMS surface for cell culture, particularly for longterm culture experiments or when treated devices are stored before use.”
