Temporal evolution of mechanical properties in PDMS: A comparative study of elastic modulus and relaxation time for storage in air and aqueous environment

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a soft, biocompatible polymer extensively employed in biomedical research, notable for its tunable mechanical properties achieved through cross-linking. While many studies have assessed the mechanical properties of PDMS utilizing macroscopic and microscopic methods, th...
