Basic Silicone Chemistry (II)
Silicone Classifications by Physical Form
(1) Fluids (hydraulic, release agents, cosmetics, heat transfer
media, polishes, lubricants, damping, dry cleaning)
Polymer chains of difunctional units (D) terminated with monofunctional (M)
units OR cyclics (Dx)
(2) Gums (high temperature heat transfer fluids, lubricants,
greases, cosmetic and health care additives)
Same structure as PDMS fluids, but much higher molecular weight (viscosities
>1,000,000 cSt).
(3) Resins (varnishes, protective coatings, release coatings,
molding compounds, electronic insulation)
Rigid solids based on trifunctional (T) and tetrafunctional (Q) units. Surface
modification with (M) units
(4) Elastomers (Heat cured and RTVs: tubing and hoses,
medical implants, sealants, adhesives, surgical aids,
electrical insulation, fuel resistant rubber parts, rollers, etc)
Soft solids based on crosslinked SiH Fluids

Microfluidics Technology
A microfabricated cell sorter with integrated valves
and pumps. This is a two-layer device; the bottom
layer is a T-shaped fluidic channel, and the top layer
contains pneumatic control lines for pumps and
valves, as well as cavities to smooth out oscillations.

Challenges
Dow Corning’s Sylgard 184® PDMS Elastomer
• Currently the most widely used material
in microfluidic device fabrication
• Flexible, non-toxic, easily cured, low surface energy
Chemical Nature of PDMS allows for significant
swelling in common organic solvents
• Swelling greatly disrupts micron-scale features of
microfluidic devices…
• Severely limits the versatility of microfluidics
technology!
Strong Demand for solvent-resistant materials
with mechanical properties of PDMS Elastomers !
