A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit ...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS or silicone) is an important and versatile material used in the field of printed electronics (PE). In particular, thin film layers of PDMS show great promise for use in ...

Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films that are more durable, more thermally stable and harder than conventional self-healing materials.

In a nutshell A self-powered smart insole system developed by researchers in China and the U.S. uses solar energy and ...

Polysiloxane materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based elastomers, exhibit a self-healing capability by the introduction of silanolate ...

Unlike conventional lithography that uses rigid photomasks, soft lithography employs elastomeric materials, typically polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), to create patterns and structures with high fidelity ...

Polysiloxane materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based elastomers, exhibit a self-healing capability by the introduction of silanolate (Si–O –) groups. This ability stems from their ...
