I dont think that this is possible without additional adhesives. I believe you mean cross-linked PDMS? Glasstransition of PDMS is at -125°C. Non-cross-linked PDMS is a liquid at RT and decomposes at ~200°C. Besides that, PDMS is very nonpolar (~21mN/m purely dispers) and PMMA is very polar (~35mN/m dispers and ~10mN/m polar). As they wont form intermolecular bonding there will be no adhesive bond between the two.
Martin Wortmann sir, thanks for your previous response.
So, you mean, that PDMS can't be cross-linked with PMMA. Can you please provide some examples of adhesives that can be used to bond/stick the two polymers without affecting their individual tensile/mechanical strength?
I am not an expert in adhesives. It's not entirely clear to me if your PDMS film is already cross-linked or if you are trying to synthesize or deposit the films on each other?... generally adhesion to PDMS is challenging, but I believe there are commercially available primers/adhesive systems.
Yes, the PDMS is already crosslinked and polymerized, thus making a flexible polymer film out of it. I have a very thin PMMA polymer coating on top of a graphene sample and I want to bond the PDMS film to this PMMA layer.
The Flexdym polymer created by Eden Tech is a great alternative PDMS. It's biocompatible, transparent, gas permeable and can be molded in just a couple of minutes. And it binds to a variety of substrates including PMMA. Here's a link: https://eden-microfluidics.com/
