What is the best way to bond PTFE membrane to PDMS material in order to use it as a bubble trap in a microfluidic device?
Can I know how to prepare the PTFE membrane?
Bonam Sathish We do not prepare it, but we buy ready-made PTFE membrane with specific pore size.
Flexdym is a great alternative to PDMS, which bonds ot a variety of thermoplastics e.g. PS, PC, PMMA, COC...
The fabrication protocol is only 2-10 minutes long, depending on your application. And Flexdym can be recycled and re-molded.
