Adsorption of Proteins to Thin-Films of PDMS and Its Effect on the Adhesion of Human Endothelial Cells.

TL;DR: Th thin-films of poly(dimethylsiloxane) can be used to model the surface properties of microdevices fabricated with commercial PDMS and guidelines to efficiently attach cells in BioMEMS devices are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micro/nanotribological characterization of PDMS and PMMA used for BioMEMS/NEMS applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the adhesion and friction of single crystal silicon with native oxide layer and two polymers (poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) are studied and their dependence on rest time, relative humidity and sliding velocity is evaluated.

Mitigation of biomolecular adsorption with hydrophilic polymer additives

TL;DR: In this paper, surface adsorption to the microfluidic device surfaces can be passively and actively mitigated by mixing certain hydrophilic polymers (organic polymers with repeating hydrophilic groups) with the sample liquid during or prior to relevant micro fluid operation.
