  • What is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)?
  • ?
  • ) Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), also known as dimethylpolysiloxane or dimethicone, is a silicone polymer with a wide variety of uses, from cosmetics to industrial lubrication and passive daytime radiative cooling. It is particularly known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties.
  • Are PDMS coatings suitable for oil/water separation?
  • Therefore, we summarized recent studies on PDMS coatings with special wetting properties (superhydrophobic/superoleophilic) on the surface of various substrates for oil/water separation. The coating fabrication approaches, treatment effects, durability of coating surfaces and oil/water separation efficiency are discussed.
  • Is PDMS suitable for water-in-oil microfluidics?
  • PDMS is a hydrophobic material (water contact angle >100°) 6, which has consequences for droplet-based microfluidics. To successfully generate droplets, the continuous (i.e., external) phase needs to effectively wet the device walls; therefore, PDMS is ideally suited for the generation of water-in-oil (w/o) droplets 7.
  • Can PDMS modified superhydrophobic paper tissue be used for oily water treatment?
  • Thus, the authors concluded that the PDMS modified superhydrophobic paper tissue is a low cost, efficient approach for oily water treatment in both civil and industry areas of application.
