in the mixture were removed under vacuum. The PDMS solution was poured over
the ‘master’ and left to cure overnight (Figure 11.2). The cured PDMS stamp was
removed from the ‘master’ and used in the subsequent steps.
11.5.2 SURFACE FUNCTIONALIZATION OF SILICON SUBSTRATES
BY SILANIZATION
Silanization is the process of functionalizing the silicon or borosilicate substrates
with a silane solution resulting in the formation of a silane monolayer which acts as
a coupling agent between the PEG hydrogel and silicon substrate thereby improving
the adherence of PEG hydrogel to the silicon substrate ...
