We have investigated fs-laser ablation as well as optoperforation threshold of PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) thin lid cover on ${\mu}$-channel with changing the flow medium from water to hemoglobin. The ablation threshold is found to be independent of both PDMS thin film thickness and flow medium, but the optoperforation threshold is dependent on the films thickness. The observation that the ablation process is well described with simple two-temperature model supposed that the cover lid PDMS of $\mu$-channel be processed with minimized thermal effects by fs-laser with low laser fluence.

In this study, manufacturing of polymer master, PDMS(poly dimethylsiloxane) transfer mold, and mold insert was investigated for laser LIGA(LIthography Calvanoformung Abformtechnik). Initially, ablation by excimer laser radiation was used successfully to make 3-D microstructure of PET. After then, the PDMS transfer mold was replicated using ablated PET. Finally, epoxy resin tooling on replicated PDMS transfer mold was executed for making mold insert. From these facts we can conclude that excimer laser ablation of polymer and fabricaiton of PDMS transfer mold are reasonable tools to substitute for X-ray lithography of LIGA process in microstructuring.

본 논문에서는 Nd:YAG($\lambda$=266 nm, pulse) 레이저빔을 PDMS 표면에 조사하여, 소수성 물질인 PDMS를 친수성 물질로 개질하였다. 이미 산소 플라즈마를 이용한 것과 오존을 이용한 PDMS 표면 개질에 관한 논문이 발표되었는데, 레이저를 이용한 표면 개질은 간단한 레이저 빛의 조사만으로 표면을 개질할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 레이저를 이용하여 PDMS 를 표면처리한 후에 접촉각 측정기를 이용해서 측정한 결과 접촉각 감소가 있었다. 묘면에 산소 함유량이 증가한 것을 확인함으로써 친수성 물질로의 표면 개질됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

1. 서론 : 본 연구는 시간이 경과함에 따라 free volume감소로 나타나는 PTMSP[Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)] memebrane의 pysical aging을 늦추거나 방지할 목적으로 PTMSP polymer를 합성하여 여기에 hydroxy-terminated PDMS를 graft시켜 PTMSP/PDMS graft copolymer를 제조하였다. 용매증발법에 의해 PTMSP memebrane 및 PTMSP/PDMS graft copolymer memebrane을 제막한 후 PTMSP막의 물리적 노화를 관찰하기 위한 시점에서 조업시간에 따른 이들 막의 transport property을 살펴 보았다. 또한 이들 polymer을 사용하여 0.5 wt%의 희박 dope solution을 제조한 후 여기에 상전환법에 의해 제조된 비대칭 PEI(polyetherimide)지지막을 dip-doping시켜 PTMSP-PEI, PTMSP/PDMS-PEI 복합막을 제조하여 상기의 두 막과 투과증발 특성을 상호 비교하여 보았다. 그리고 객관적 비교 자료를 얻을 목적으로 PDMS막과 PDMS-PEI 복합막을 각각 제막하여 동일조건에서 실험을 수행하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 수중에 미량 용해된 chloroform, trichloroethylene, perchlororthylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane 등의 유기염소계화합물 제거 실험을 통해 PTMSP, PTMSP/PDMS 등의 dense membrane과 asymmetric composite membrane 사이의 상관관계 및 이들 막들의 투과특성을 서로 비교, 분석하는데 목적을 두었다.

Maleated ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (MEPDM) was prepared from solution polymerization of EPDM and maleic anhydride. MEPDM-grafted-poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) copolymer (MEPDM-g-PDMS) was prepared from copolymerization of MEPDM with $\alpha$,$\omega$-hydroxyl group terminated PDMS. The MEPDM-g-PDMS was compounded with HDPE and 4-ethoxybenzoic acid modified MWCNT at $180^{\circ}C$ and positive temperature coefficient (PCT) behavior of the MWCNT composite was investigated. Surface modification of MWCNT enabled it to be more uniformly dispersed in polymer matrix and decreased aggregation of particles. Electrical resistivity of the composite was abruptly increased at melting temperature and PTC intensity of 2.3 was obtained at 15% loading of surface modified CNT.

This study presented facile method of cell patterning using fabricated PDMS patterns on polyelectrolyte coated surface. This basic principle is the fabrication of functional surface presenting two orthogonal surfaces such as cell adhesive and repellent properties. Cell adhesive surface was firstly fabricated with simple coating of polyelectrolyte multilayer. And then, the desired patterns of PDMS for the prevention of nonspecific binding of cells were transferred onto the previously formed thin film of polyelectrolyte multilayer. Thus, we could prepare novel functional surface simultaneously containing PDMS and polyelectrolyte region. As expected, the PDMS regions showed effective prevention of nonspecific binding of cell and the other region, exposed polyelectrolyte area, provided cell adhesive environment. The height of formed PDMS structure was about 100 nm. Based on this method, cell patterning can be successfully obtained with various pattern shapes and sizes. Therefore, we expect that this simple method will be useful platform technology for the development of cell chip, cell based assay system, and biochip.

In this study, we propose and develop PDMS-based modular actuators. The microactuator which looks like a small insect uses thermal expansion power of the PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane; $sylgar^{(R)}$ 184 silicone elastomer). The PDMS-based microactuator provides a large displacement due to a high thermal expansion coefficient (approximately 310ppm). The microacruator with 1mm length $350{\mu}m$ width is optimized by using a numerical analysis. The shape of the PDMS actuatoris variously designed. They are placed at several positions to find the optimal position that provides a high transformation ratio. The PDMS-based microactuators are fabricated using a conventional micromaching technique. The fabricated microactuator is heated using a hot-plate. The actuator displacement is measured as a function of temperature from $27^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$. The experimental results are compared to the simulation result. When heating temperature up to $300^{\circ}C$ is applied to the PDMS actuator, each V-groove-shaped joint is actuated $30{\mu}$ mat $300^{\circ}C$. Anotherdesign of the microactuator has a maximum displacement of about 656mm.
