why does pdms stick to glass?

This is because one method of manufacturing micro-reactors is to stick a patterned piece of PDMS to a piece of glass; the PDMS is patterned such that it has reactor channels that are sealed when it is stuck to the glass. The glass is usually a micro-scope slide or something similar.

Rubbing alcohol, lighter fluid, or nail polish remover. These solvents can work wonders in removing glue and glue residue from glass. Apply sparingly — a concentrated dose will work better than splashing it everywhere.

Any general-purpose spray paint adheres to glass, but it may chip or scratch over time if the painted item is handled frequently. Even glass that looks clean should be washed and wiped with alcohol before painting.

['Too much flux causes a glaze to run, and tends to create variable texture on the surface. ... ', 'Too much silica will create a stiff, white and densely opaque glass with an uneven surface.']

Dry erase markers were made for non-porous surfaces, which is why they work well on mirrors, metals and glass. ... Also, the solvent in the marker (usually an alcohol) helps the ink dry quickly, which attaches the ink to the surface, not absorb it. Dry ink is easiest to wipe off, since the ink is in place.

This happens when you overpress your vinyl design. Putting too much heat on vinyl will cause the glue that helps adhere it to the material either evaporate and your hold won't be as strong OR it will push up the glue and cause bubbles to form.

Permanent markers use an acrylic polymer that helps the pigment stick to surfaces, while dry erase markers use an oily silicone polymer.

Every glass screen protector has it but they are not the same. After the glass gets cut, the fingerprint resistant coating or oleophobic gets applied. Cheaper screen protectors will have the coating sprayed on while expensive one are statically applied.

Glass happens to lose electrons easily, and silk grabs them away from the glass atoms, so after rubbing the glass becomes positively charged and the silk becomes negatively charged. Plastic has the opposite tendency.

What Causes Etching on Glasses? Etching is the erosion of the surface of glassware, tiny pits or “scratches” on the glass. ... The cause of etching on dishes can be from too much detergent in soft water, items that are pre-rinsed multiple times, or washing dishes in water that is too hot.

The highest quality glass has the chemical formula SiO2. But this is misleading. That formula conjures up ideas of little silicon dioxide molecules, analogous to carbon dioxide molecules.

No paint will adhear to Silicone, Nylon or Telflon plastics. Paint stick or not based on its ability to form molecular bonds with the plastic. Cheap craft store acrylic paint will stick very poorly to bare plastic of any kind and will need a special plastic primer to give it a chance to stick to a few plastics.

7−11 Even though thermosetting polymers such as PDMS and polyurethane have been proven to be useful materials for microstructured adhesives, they have limitations such as long processing times due to their curing reactions, frequent requirement of vacuum for degassing the prepolymers, and relatively high base material ...

To remove the film, simply soak your glasses in undiluted white vinegar for 15 minutes, rinse them off and let them dry. ... While filming deposits residue on the surface of the glass, etching pits and damages the surface. There is no way to fix an etched glass or remove the etching. Once the damage occurs, it's permanent.

Keep in mind that isopropyl alcohol and salt while great for your glass pipes, it isn't a recommended way to clean a silicone pipe. Alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and oil based cleaning products can chemically damage the silicone causing unwanted swelling as it absorbs into the silicone.

The contaminant on the DMD glass will determine what cleaning method is to be used. Contaminants such as dust or light oils can be cleaned off easily with a microfiber cleaning cloth or an optical cleaning pad. More difficult contaminants such as heavy finger oils may require an acetone cleaning.
