Has anyone had experience with photocurable perfluoropolyethers (PFPE) for microfluidic applications?

02 May 2018 0 3K Report

I was wondering if anyone had experience with using PFPEs for microfluidic applications. How is the adhesion with SU-8 or glass substrates?

I appreciate everyone for sharing their experiences.
