“…Table 1 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t Table 2 shows the regression coefficients for each parameter obtained from the statistical analysis using the different response variables; positive or negative sign of the coefficients (β) indicates that the parameter value increases or decreases the corresponding response variable, respectively. According to Table 2, the wettability of the PDMS surface immediately after LPP treatment during 5 minutes is lower than during 1 minute (positive regression coefficient), likely due to overtreatment, in agreement with previous studies [17,18]; however, longer LPP treatment provides lower water contact angle values 24…”

“…The influence of the plasma treatment conditions on the surface modifications of PDMS and their stability have been studied extensively [6,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. It has been demonstrated that the extent of ageing or hydrophobic recovery depended on the experimental parameters of the plasma treatment including its duration [15][16][17][18], power [6,18,19], composition of the gas used for generating the plasma A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 5 [13,14,16,18,20], working pressure [6,17], and extent of crosslinking of PDMS [21][22], among other.…”

“…In many studies, argon, hydrogen, ammonia, and other inorganic gases were used in plasma treatments of silicone elastomer. [16][17][18] These plasma treatments can lead to an increase of the oxygen and nitrogen elemental composition on the surface, which can improve the hydrophilicity of silicone elastomer. However, the change is limited and will disappear gradually with time.…”

The microwave plasma surface modification of silicone elastomer with allylamine was studied to improve the biocompatibility of the material. An effort was made to clarify the relationships among plasma conditions and surface chemical composition, physical surface properties and biocompatibility of material, as well as the stability of plasma deposited layers. ATR-IR, XPS, Ellipsometry measurements, and contact angle measurements were used to investigate the changes of surface. The stability of plasma-treated silicone surfaces were also studied. The results demonstrated that the temperature and pressure had a strong influence on the chemical composition and structure of surface-deposited layer. The layer was nearly completely crosslinking when the modification was carried out at 60 degrees C. The polymerization speed decreased linearly with temperature. The XPS analysis results showed that the nitrogen element content in the surface layer was very high, especially under low pressure. The nitrogen/carbon ratio in the layer even greatly surpassed that of the allylamine monomer. The wettability of the silicone surface was greatly improved after plasma modification, and increased with the quantities of amine groups. The plasma-treated surfaces have good storage stability in air up to 3 months. The wettability of the surfaces decreased incipiently and then it dramatically increased with further time. The human skin fibroblasts were used to evaluate biocompatibility of plasma-treated silicone elastomer. The surface biocompatibility was greatly improved after modification; human skin fibroblasts adhered quickly and grew well on the modified silicone surface.

“…Therefore, modifying the surface property of PDMS is mandatory for practical applications. Exposure to energy sources such as oxygen plasma [20][21][22][23][24] or UV light [25] is the most common method used to modify PDMS surfaces to produce the hydrophilic property. However, the short effective lifetime of these kinds of treatments remains a problem.…”

On the surface modification of microchannels for microcapillary electrophoresis chips

et al. 2005

This paper presents systematic investigation of the microchannel surface properties in microCE chips. Three popular materials for microCE chips, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), quartz, and glass, are used. The zeta potentials of these microchannels are calculated by measuring the EOF velocity to evaluate the surface properties after surface modification. The hydrophobic PDMS is usually plasma-treated for microCE applications. In this study, a new method using a high-throughput atmospheric plasma generator is adopted to treat the PDMS surface under atmospheric conditions. In this approach, the cost and time for surface treatment can be significantly reduced compared with the conventional vacuum plasma generator method. Experimental results indicate that new functional groups could be formed on the PDMS surface after treatment, resulting in a change in the surface property. The time-dependent surface property of the plasma-treated PDMS is then measured in terms of the zeta potential. Results show that the surface property will reach a stable condition after 1 h of plasma treatment. For glass CE chips, two new methods for changing the microchannel surface properties are developed. Instead of using complicated and time-consuming chemical silanization procedures for CE channel surface modification, two simple and reliable methods utilizing organic-based spin-on-glass and water-soluble acrylic resin are reported. The proposed method provides a fast batch process for controlling the surface properties of glass-based CE channels. The proposed methods are evaluated using PhiX-174 DNA maker separation. The experimental data show that the surface property is modified and separation efficiency greatly improved. In addition, the long-term stability of both coatings is verified in this study. The methods proposed in this study show potential as an excellent solution for glass-based microCE chip surface modification.
