Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is hailed as one of the foundational materials for microfluidics.
Though a silicone‐based elastomer of many desirable properties, the emergence of …

A survey of recent literature on wetting phenomena reveals that there is a fast-growing
interest in wetting of soft or deformable substrates, due to its potential applications in many …

In the past few years, microfluidic-based technology has developed microscale models
recapitulating key physical and biological cues typical of the native myocardium. However …

We report knitted fabrics made from highly conductive stretchable fibers. The maximum
initial conductivity of fibers synthesized by wet spinning was 17460 S cm–1 with a rupture …

Stem cell research has yielded promising advances in regenerative medicine, but standard
assays generally lack the ability to combine different cell stimulations with rapid sample …

A new electromagnetic energy harvester for harnessing energy from vibration induced by
Kármán vortex street is proposed. It converts flow energy into electrical energy by fluid flow …

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a commercially silicone rubber widely used in mechanical
sensors, electronic products and medical devices. This paper describes and analyzes the …

A microfluidic chip for generation of gradients of dissolved oxygen was designed, fabricated
and tested. The novel way of active oxygen depletion through a gas permeable membrane …

This study reports a polymer electrolyte fuel cell based on polydimethylsiloxane coated with
a flexible current-collecting layer of Ag nanowire percolation networks. The reactive area of …

We introduce a new type of multi-functional capacitive sensor that can sense several
different external stimuli. It is fabricated only with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films and …
