Photocurable perfluoropolyethers for use as novel materials in microfluidic devices

USPTO Application #: 20090165320
Title: Photocurable perfluoropolyethers for use as novel materials in microfluidic devices
Abstract: A functionalized photocurable perfluoropolyether is used as a material for fabricating a solvent-resistant microfluidic device. Such solvent-resistant microfluidic devices can be used to control the flow of small amounts of a fluid, such as an organic solvent, and to perform microscale chemical reactions that are not amenable to other polymer-based microfluidic devices.
