Abstract:are able to form extraordinarily stable vesicular membranes against a number of chemical, physical and mechanical stressors. In this study, we demonstrated that PLFE can also form free-standing ''planar'' membranes on micro-pores (~100 micrometer) of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thin films embedded in printed circuit board (PCB)-based fluidics. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), we found that the dielectric properties of PLFE planar membranes suspended on the PDMS films are distinctly different… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
