Soft lithography is a fabrication technique used to create micro- and nanoscale patterns. Developed in the early 1990s by George M. Whitesides and colleagues, it simplifies pattern formation by using ...

The tuneability of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) interfacial phenomena by controlled surface modification is a desirable property for the development of Lab-on-a-Chip devices for biological and medical ...
