Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is one of several types of silicone oil (polymerized siloxane).
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), called PDMS or dimethicone, is a polymer widely used for the fabrication and prototyping of microfluidic chips.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a mineral-organic polymer (a structure containing carbon and silicon) of the siloxane family (word derived from silicon, oxygen and alkane).
The Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) empirical formula is (C2H6OSi)n and Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)'s fragmented formula is CH3[Si(CH3)2O]nSi(CH3)3, n being the number of monomers repetitions.
Depending on the size of monomers chain, the non-cross-linked Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) may be almost liquid (low n) or semi-solid (high n).
The siloxane bonds result in a flexible polymer chain with a high level of viscoelasticity.
After “cross-linking”:
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) becomes a hydrophobic elastomer.
Polar solvents, such as water, struggle to wet the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (water beads and does not spread) and this leads to the adsorption of hydrophobic contaminants from water on the material’s surface.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is the simplest member of the silicone polymer family.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is formed by hydrolyzing Me2SiCl2, which is produced from high-purity SiO2 and CH2Cl2 by the Muller–Rochow reaction.
The term “silicone” was coined by chemist F. S. Kipping in 1901.
At higher molecular weights, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a soft, compliant rubber or resin.
The popularity of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in microfluidics area is due to Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)'s excellent mechanical properties.
Moreover, compared to other materials, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) possesses superior optical properties, allowing for minimal background and autofluorescence during for fluorescent imaging.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) belongs to a group of polymeric organosilicon compounds that are commonly referred to as silicones.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is also called dimethylpolysiloxane or dimethicone.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)'s applications range from contact lenses and medical devices to elastomers.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is also present in shampoos (as Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) makes hair shiny and slippery), food (antifoaming agent), caulking, lubricants and heat-resistant tiles.
Hydraulic fluids and related applications of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS):
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used in the active silicone fluid in automotive viscous limited slip differentials and couplings.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which is classified as a silicone, can be used for a variety of biomaterial applications, including contact lens.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has gained popularity as the material is used to fabricate different types of devices for studying neural stem cell behavior.
Initial studies used Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to fabricate microchips that could generate neural networks by differentiating neural stem cells into mature neurons.
Apart from microfluidics, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used as a food additive (E900), in shampoos, and as an anti-foaming agent in beverages or in lubricating oils.
For the fabrication of microfluidic devices, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (liquid) mixed with a cross-linking agent is poured into a microstructured mold and heated to obtain a elastomeric replica of the mold.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is one of the most employed materials to mold microfluidic devices.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used in caulks, sealants, an even Silly Putty.
More recently, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) resins have been used in soft lithography, a key process in biomedical microelectromechanical systems (bio-MEMS).
Low–molecular weight Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a liquid used in lubricants, antifoaming agents, and hydraulic fluids.
Surfactants and antifoaming agents:
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a common surfactant and is a component of defoamers.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), in a modified form, is used as an herbicide penetrant and is a critical ingredient in water-repelling coatings, such as Rain-X.
Soft lithography:
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is commonly used as a stamp resin in the procedure of soft lithography, making Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) one of the most common materials used for flow delivery in microfluidics chips.
The process of soft lithography consists of creating an elastic stamp, which enables the transfer of patterns of only a few nanometers in size onto glass, silicon or polymer surfaces.
With this type of technique, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is possible to produce devices that can be used in the areas of optic telecommunications or biomedical research.
The stamp is produced from the normal techniques of photolithography or electron-beam lithography.
The resolution depends on the mask used and can reach 6 nm.
In biomedical (or biological) microelectromechanical systems (bio-MEMS), soft lithography is used extensively for microfluidics in both organic and inorganic contexts.
Silicon wafers are used to design channels, and Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is then poured over these wafers and left to harden.
When removed, even the smallest of details is left imprinted in the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
With this particular Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) block, hydrophilic surface modification is conducted using plasma etching techniques.
Plasma treatment disrupts surface silicon-oxygen bonds, and a plasma-treated glass slide is usually placed on the activated side of the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (the plasma-treated, now hydrophilic side with imprints).
Once activation wears off and bonds begin to reform, silicon-oxygen bonds are formed between the surface atoms of the glass and the surface atoms of the PDMS, and the slide becomes permanently sealed to the PDMS, thus creating a waterproof channel. With these devices, researchers can utilize various surface chemistry techniques for different functions creating unique lab-on-a-chip devices for rapid parallel testing.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be cross-linked into networks and is a commonly used system for studying the elasticity of polymer networks.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be directly patterned by surface-charge lithography.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is being used in the making of synthetic gecko adhesion dry adhesive materials, to date only in laboratory test quantities.
Some flexible electronics researchers use Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) because of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)'s low cost, easy fabrication, flexibility, and optical transparency.
Yet, for fluorescence imaging at different wavelengths, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) shows least autofluorescence and is comparable to BoroFloat glass.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is present in shampoos (as dimethicone makes hair shiny and slippery), food (antifoaming agent) and more.
Stereo lithography:
In stereo lithography (SLA) 3D printing, light is projected onto photocuring resin to selectively cure it.
Some types of SLA printer are cured from the bottom of the tank of resin and therefore require the growing model to be peeled away from the base in order for each printed layer to be supplied with a fresh film of uncured resin.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer at the bottom of the tank assists this process by absorbing oxygen : the presence of oxygen adjacent to the resin prevents it adhering to the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and the optically clear Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) permits the projected image to pass through to the resin undistorted.
Medicine and cosmetics:
Activated dimethicone, a mixture of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)s and silicon dioxide (sometimes called simethicone), is often used in over-the-counter drugs as an antifoaming agent and carminative.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has also been at least proposed for use in contact lenses.
Silicone breast implants are made out of a PDMS elastomer shell, to which fumed amorphous silica is added, encasing PDMS gel or saline solution.
In addition, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is useful as a lice or flea treatment because of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)'s ability to trap insects.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) also works as a moisturizer that is lighter and more breathable than typical oils.
Skin:
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used variously in the cosmetic and consumer product industry as well.
For example, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be used in the treatment of head lice on the scalp and dimethicone is used widely in skin-moisturizing lotions where Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is listed as an active ingredient whose purpose is "skin protection."
Some cosmetic formulations use dimethicone and related siloxane polymers in concentrations of use up to 15%.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review's (CIR) Expert Panel, has concluded that dimethicone and related polymers are "safe as used in cosmetic formulations."
Contact lenses:
A proposed use of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is contact lens cleaning.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)'s physical properties of low elastic modulus and hydrophobicity have been used to clean micro and nano pollutants from contact lens surfaces more effectively than multipurpose solution and finger rubbing; the researchers involved call the technique PoPPR (polymer on polymer pollution removal) and note that it is highly effective at removing nanoplastic that has adhered to lenses.
Flea treatment for pets:
Dimethicone is the active ingredient in a liquid applied to the back of the neck of a cat or dog from a small one time use dose disposable pipette.
The parasite becomes trapped and immoblised in the substance and thus breaks the life cycle of the insect.

Personal care applications of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS):
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is ideal conditioning agent/additive for hair care products, shampoo, rinse-off conditioners, bath shower gel and other personal care and cosmetic products.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) provides easy combing and detangling for wet and dry hair, lubricious, smooth feel as well as softness and gloss to the hair.
Structure of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS):
The chemical formula for Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is CH3[Si(CH3)2O]nSi(CH3)3, where n is the number of repeating monomer [SiO(CH3)2] units.
Industrial synthesis can begin from dimethyldichlorosilane and water by the following net reaction:
The polymerization reaction evolves hydrochloric acid.
For medical and domestic applications, a process was developed in which the chlorine atoms in the silane precursor were replaced with acetate groups.
In this case, the polymerization produces acetic acid, which is less chemically aggressive than HCl.
As a side-effect, the curing process is also much slower in this case.
The acetate is used in consumer applications, such as silicone caulk and adhesives.
BRANCING and CAPPING of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS):
Hydrolysis of Si(CH3)2Cl2 generates a polymer that is terminated with silanol groups (−Si(CH3)2OH]).
These reactive centers are typically "capped" by reaction with trimethylsilyl chloride:
2 Si(CH3)3Cl + [Si(CH3)2O]n−2[Si(CH3)2OH]2 → [Si(CH3)2O]n−2[Si(CH3)2O Si(CH3)3]2 + 2 HCl
Silane precursors with more acid-forming groups and fewer methyl groups, such as methyltrichlorosilane, can be used to introduce branches or cross-links in the polymer chain.
Under ideal conditions, each molecule of such a compound becomes a branch point.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be used to produce hard silicone resins.
In a similar manner, precursors with three methyl groups can be used to limit molecular weight, since each such molecule has only one reactive site and so forms the end of a siloxane chain.
Well-defined Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with a low polydispersity index and high homogeneity is produced by controlled anionic ring-opening polymerization of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane.
Using this methodology Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is possible to synthesize linear block copolymers, heteroarm star-shaped block copolymers and many other macromolecular architectures.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is manufactured in multiple viscosities, ranging from a thin pourable liquid (when n is very low), to a thick rubbery semi-solid (when n is very high).
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molecules have quite flexible polymer backbones (or chains) due to their siloxane linkages, which are analogous to the ether linkages used to impart rubberiness to polyurethanes.
Such flexible chains become loosely entangled when molecular weight is high, which results in Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)' unusually high level of viscoelasticity.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS):
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is viscoelastic, meaning that at long flow times (or high temperatures), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) acts like a viscous liquid, similar to honey.
However, at short flow times (or low temperatures), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) acts like an elastic solid, similar to rubber.
Viscoelasticity is a form of nonlinear elasticity that is common amongst noncrystalline polymers.
The loading and unloading of a stress-strain curve for Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) do not coincide; rather, the amount of stress will vary based on the degree of strain, and the general rule is that increasing strain will result in greater stiffness.
When the load itself is removed, the strain is slowly recovered (rather than instantaneously).
This time-dependent elastic deformation results from the long-chains of the polymer.
But the process that is described above is only relevant when cross-linking is present; when it is not, the polymer Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cannot shift back to the original state even when the load is removed, resulting in a permanent deformation.
However, permanent deformation is rarely seen in PDMS, since Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is almost always cured with a cross-linking agent.
If some Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is left on a surface overnight (long flow time), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) will flow to cover the surface and mold to any surface imperfections.
However, if the same Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is poured into a spherical mold and allowed to cure (short flow time), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) will bounce like a rubber ball.
The mechanical properties of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) enable this polymer to conform to a diverse variety of surfaces.
Since these properties are affected by a variety of factors, this unique polymer is relatively easy to tune.
This enables PDMS to become a good substrate that can easily be integrated into a variety of microfluidic and microelectromechanical systems.
Specifically, the determination of mechanical properties can be decided before Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is cured; the uncured version allows the user to capitalize on myriad opportunities for achieving a desirable elastomer.
Generally, the cross-linked cured version of PDMS resembles rubber in a solidified form.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is widely known to be easily stretched, bent, compressed in all directions.
Depending on the application and field, the user is able to tune the properties based on what is demanded.
Overall Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has a low elastic modulus which enables Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to be easily deformed and results in the behavior of a rubber.
Viscoelastic properties of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be more precisely measured using dynamic mechanical analysis.
This method requires determination of the material's flow characteristics over a wide range of temperatures, flow rates, and deformations.
Because of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)'s chemical stability, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is often used as a calibration fluid for this type of experiment.
The shear modulus of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) varies with preparation conditions, and consequently dramatically varies in the range of 100 kPa to 3 MPa.
The loss tangent is very low (tan δ ≪ 0.001).
CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS):
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is hydrophobic.
Plasma oxidation can be used to alter the surface chemistry, adding silanol (SiOH) groups to the surface.
Atmospheric air plasma and argon plasma will work for this application.
This treatment renders the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface hydrophilic, allowing water to wet it.
The oxidized surface can be further functionalized by reaction with trichlorosilanes.
After a certain amount of time, recovery of the surface's hydrophobicity is inevitable, regardless of whether the surrounding medium is vacuum, air, or water; the oxidized surface is stable in air for about 30 minutes.
Alternatively, for applications where long-term hydrophilicity is a requirement, techniques such as hydrophilic polymer grafting, surface nanostructuring, and dynamic surface modification with embedded surfactants can be of use.
Solid Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) samples (whether surface-oxidized or not) will not allow aqueous solvents to infiltrate and swell the material.
Thus Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) structures can be used in combination with water and alcohol solvents without material deformation.
However most organic solvents will diffuse into the material and cause it to swell.
Despite this, some organic solvents lead to sufficiently small swelling that they can be used with Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), for instance within the channels of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic devices.
The swelling ratio is roughly inversely related to the solubility parameter of the solvent.
Diisopropylamine swells Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to the greatest extent; solvents such as chloroform, ether, and THF swell the material to a large extent.
Solvents such as acetone, 1-propanol, and pyridine swell the material to a small extent.
Alcohols and polar solvents such as methanol, glycerol and water do not swell the material appreciably.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) OXIDATION:
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) oxidation using plasma changes the surface chemistry, and produces silanol terminations (SiOH) on its surface.
This helps making the material hydrophilic for thirty minutes or so.
This process also makes the surface resistant to the adsorption of hydrophobic and negatively-charged molecules.
In addition, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)'s plasma oxidation is used to functionalize the surface with trichlorosilane or to covalently bond Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (at the atomic scale) on an oxidized glass surface by the creation of a Si-O-Si bonds.
Whether the surface is plasma oxidized or not, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) does not allow water, glycerol, methanol or ethanol infiltration and consecutive deformation.
Thus, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is possible to use PDMS with these fluids without fear of micro-structure deformation.
However, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) deforms and swells in the presence of diisopropylamine, chloroform and ether, and also, to a lesser extent, in the presence of acetone, propanol and pyridine – therefore, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is not ideal for many organic chemistry applications.
