title = "Surface treatments of soft molds for high aspect ratio molding of poly-PEGDA",
abstract = "This paper looks at surface treatments for Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) soft molds for cured Poly(ethylene) glycol diacrylate (Poly-PEGDA) to increase reliability of mold filling and decreasing mold permeability. Contact angle of uncured PEGDA on the different mold treatments (deep UV exposure, oxygen plasma and Parylene-C coating) was measured. Out of these, Parylene-C showed to have a good compromise between improved mold filling and durability. Our method allows for the creation of high aspect ratio structures (in excess of 10:1) as well as enclosed microfluidic channels.",
