The use of a photocurable perfluoropolyether (PFPE) material for fabricating a solvent-resistant PFPE-based microfluidic device, methods of flowing a material and performing a chemical reaction in a solvent-resistant PFPE-based microfluidic device, and the solvent-resistant PFPE-based microfluidic devices themselves are described. In an embodiment, a method is described for preparing a patterned layer of a photocured perfluoropolyether, the method comprising: (a) providing a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a patterned surface; (b) contacting a perfluoropolvether precursor with the patterned surface of the substrate; and (c) photocuring the perfluoropolyether precursor to form a patterned layer of a photocured perfluoropolyether.
A method of forming a patterned layer of a photocured perfluoropolyether, the method comprising:
A microfluidic device comprising a patterned layer of a photocured perfluoropolyether.
A microfluidic device comprising a first patterned layer of a photocured perfluoropolyether and a second patterned layer of a photocured perfluoropolyether, wherein
