PDMSllä
PDMSllä is a Finnish-language term used in scientific and engineering contexts to refer to methods, devices, or processes that involve polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The word is formed from PDMS and the locative suffix -llä, meaning “on PDMS” or “with PDMS.” In practice, PDMSllä often appears in descriptions of microfluidic devices fabricated from PDMS and in protocols detailing PDMS-based experiments.
Polydimethylsiloxane is a silicone-based elastomer known for its optical transparency, gas permeability, elasticity, and general biocompatibility.
Fabrication and handling typically involve soft lithography methods. PDMS is prepared by mixing a base polymer
Surface properties can be modified to improve wettability, biocompatibility, or chemical resistance. Hydrophobic recovery can occur
Applications of PDMSellä concepts span lab-on-a-chip devices, cell culture platforms, biosensors, and other microfluidic systems, where
