How to conjugate RGD coated magnetic nano particles to PDMS substrate?

18 December 2015 1 4K Report

What is the most simple way of doing so and how strong is the bondings?

You need to look at the functional groups available on the RGD and on the PDMS. After that, there are multiple ways of conjugating the RGD on the PDMS. Without knowing those functional groups, it will be very difficult to answer which method is appropriate for what you need.
