Introduction to Polydimethylsiloxane Films

We developed a flexible and stretchable WCNT-based strain sensor using WCNT film sandwiched between two pieces of elastic polydimethylsiloxane films.

We characterise hBN powders deposited onto polydimethylsiloxane films, which display quantum emission characteristics in ambient environmental conditions.

The aligned block copolymer thin films were transferred onto uniaxially prestrained polydimethylsiloxane films at certain angles relative to the stretching directions.

325 W m-1 K-1) and 20 times higher than pure polydimethylsiloxane films (0.

At the same time, the working principle of the bio-inspired pressure sensor is attributed to pressure-dependent variations because of the contact area change between the interlocking polydimethylsiloxane films with the negative and positive patterns of the microcrack arrays.

Combined with the thermal reflow process, and the pattern reversion process, the compound eyes array was transferred to the planar polydimethylsiloxane films with high quality.

Further, we present an application of the 3D stacked nanofiber arrays by preparing transparent and flexible polydimethylsiloxane films embedded with Ag-sputtered nanowalls as 3D nanoelectrodes.

Here we report a low-cost approach for producing and patterning graphene films from polydimethylsiloxane films by direct laser scribing in ambient air.

Herein, the use of a dielectric microsphere cavity is reported to realize over 1000-fold enhancement of the PL in CdSe/ZnS QD/polydimethylsiloxane films with a highly unidirectional emission angle of ≈9°.
