Journal ArticleDOI
Nanotexturing of poly(dimethylsiloxane) in plasmas for creating robust super-hydrophobic surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, a rapid, easy-to-implement, and potentially large-scale production method for fabricating high-aspect-ratio columnar-like nanostructures on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A low temperature surface modification assisted method for bonding plastic substrates
M. E. Vlachopoulou,Angeliki Tserepi,P. Pavli,Panagiotis Argitis,Merope Sanopoulou,Konstantinos Misiakos +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a low cost, low temperature process for sealing microfluidic devices composed of at least one organic polymeric substrate is presented, based on the surface modification of the organic substrate by means of a silane solution, resulting in irreversible bonding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of surface nanostructuring of PDMS on wetting properties, hydrophobic recovery and protein adsorption
M. E. Vlachopoulou,Panagiota S. Petrou,Sotirios E. Kakabakos,Angeliki Tserepi,Konstantinos Beltsios,Evangelos Gogolides +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a plasma-induced surface nanostructuring of PDMS in SF"6 was explored as a means to control surface wettability modified in O"2 plasmas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Etching of Poly(dimethylsiloxane): Roughness Formation, Mechanism, Control, and Application in the Fabrication of Microfluidic Structures
M. E. Vlachopoulou,George Kokkoris,Christophe Cardinaud,Evangelos Gogolides,Angeliki Tserepi +4 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro and nano structuring and texturing of polymers using plasma processes: potential manufacturing applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the recent work on the deterministic (top-down) micro/nano structuring and stochastic (random) micro-nano texturing of polymeric materials for a variety of applications.
