What is pdms?

polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a kind of silicone, has become a polymer material widely used in microfluidic and other fields because of its low cost, simple use, good adhesion with silicon wafer and good chemical inertness.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a polymer organosilicon compound. It is optically transparent, and in general, it is considered inert, non-toxic and non-flammable. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer material, and its applications include micro-channel system, caulking agent, lubricant and contact lens in bio-MEMS.
