Prototyping of polymer based microbioreactors: micromachining by using poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(dimethylsiloxane) polymer materials

Polymers have been widely accepted as materials for the fabrication of microbioreactor prototypes. In this work, microfabrication strategies namely the micromachining and casting (soft lithography) with the use poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) polymers as substrates...
