| Abstract | A linear ABA type diacrylic macromer containing an amphiphilic backbone composed of a siloxane block (SiO) and two polyoxyethylene blocks (EO) was synthesized and subsequently photopolymerized and copolymerized with a polyoxyethylene diacrylate. The kinetics of the photopolymerization was monitored by rt-FTIR, confirming the reactivity of the acrylic functionalities. The obtained polymers were then characterized by DMTA analyses and showed interesting biphasic morphology with two Tgs attributable to the EO domains and to the SiO domains. Swelling in different solvents was also tested: compared to siloxane acrylates, the introduction of EO enhanced the chemical resistance of the polymer to most solvents, excluding water. Surface analyses showed that the incorporation of both hydrophobic siloxane groups and hydrophilic polyoxyethylene groups into the networks is a successful method for controlling their surface; due to the preferential segregation of the SiO blocks at the air interface, the wettability of the polymers with water is very low, but can change depending on the environment. Compatibility toward DNA amplification reaction was successfully tested. As the possibility of fast, accurate, and cheap reproducibility of microdevices by liquid phase photopolymerization increases the attractiveness of the polymer, this material is a good alternative to polydimethylsiloxane for the fabrication of microfluidic chips for biological analysis purposes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
