Chemically defined, ultrasoft PDMS elastomers with selectable elasticity for mechanobiology.

Chemically defined, ultrasoft PDMS elastomers with selectable elasticity for mechanobiology.

Living animal cells are strongly influenced by the mechanical properties of their environment. To model physiological conditions ultrasoft cell culture substrates, in some instances with elasticity (Young's modulus) of only 1 kPa, are mandatory. Due to their long shelf life PDMS-based elastomer...
