Author:Windvoel, VT; Mbanjwa, MB; Land, KDate:2010Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has a hydrophobic surface, forming a contact angle of around 110º with deionised water. It is due to its hydrophobic nature that the elastomer is prone to bio-fouling, such as non-specific adsorption of biomaterials ...Read more
Author:Chen, H; Botef, I; Guduri, B; Vallabhapurapu, SDate:Dec 2009The authors consider Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a prospective structural material candidate for a Micro Fuel Cell. The introduction of such a polymer as structural material will reduce the mass and the size of the micro fuel cell and ...Read more
Author:Chen, H; Botef, I; Zheng, Haitao; Maaza, M; Vasudeva Rao, V; Srinivasu, VVDate:2011Carbon black filled Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was considered as a prospective bipolar plate material candidate for a Fuel Cell. In this perspective, thermal conductivity and stability of the composites were investigated. Samples with filler ...Read more
