Materials of Controlled Shape and Stiffness with Photocurable Microfluidic Endoskeleton

초록

Photocurable microfluidic channel networks in thin layers of polydimethylsiloxane can act as on-demand endoskeletons to lock-in specific shapes. The light-induced solidification of photopolymer inside the microchannel networks leads to drastic increases in the elastic and bending moduli of the elastomeric material.
