Hydrophilic Surface Modification of PDMS Microchannel for O/W and W/O/W Emulsions

A surface modification method for bonded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels is presented herein. Polymerization of acrylic acid was performed on the surface of a microchannel using an inline atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier microplasma technique. The surface treatment changes the wetta...
