Hi Researcher,

I am using chemical surface functionalization of PDMS and Polyimide (PI) to achieve a irreversible bond. This method works really great and I have achieved irreversible bonding but I am not sure if this chemical process will cause any change in mechanical properties of PDMS?

In this process I have plasma treated PDMS and PI for 1 minutes and then immersed in 1% (v/v) solution of MPTMS in methanol and GPTMS in methanol for 1 h, respectively.

Thanks
