Thin PDMS films using long spin times or tert-butyl alcohol as a solvent.

Thin PDMS films using long spin times or tert-butyl alcohol as a solvent.

Thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films are frequently used in "lab on a chip" devices as flexible membranes. The common solvent used to dilute the PDMS for thin films is hexane, but hexane can swell the underlying PDMS substrate. A better solvent would be one that dissolves uncured PDMS bu...
