Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a structured elastomer. The invention is characterised in that the elastomer is applied and hardened directly on a structured SiO2-surface. As a result, highly-deformable, micro-structured elastomers can be produced for force sensors which are used during the characterisation of new therapeutic agents.
Claims13
A method of producing a structured elastomer on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of
- applying the elastomer directly to a structured SiO2 substrate and
- thereafter curing the substrate and elastomer thereon.
The method according to one of the preceding claims wherein vinyl-terminated siloxane is the elastomer.
An elastomer having a Young's modulus of <40 kPa and having structures <10 μm.
Use of isopropanol as solvent for unpolymerized elastomer components from a cross-cross-linked elastomer.
