Sustained hydrophilicity of plasma-treated PDMS surfaces by water immersion

We demonstrate surface treatment of PDMS by direct current (dc) magnetron Argon plasma to examine the effects of plasma exposure and water immersion on the surface properties of PDMS. Results of contact angle measurements and FTIR-ATR spectroscopy show that plasma treatment led to significant hydrop...
