Fabrication of Poly(methyl Methacrylate) microfluidic chips by redox-initiated polymerization

Abstract

In this report, a method based on the redox-initiated polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) has been developed for the rapid fabrication of PMMA microfluidic chips.The new fabrication approach obviates the need for special equipment and significantly simplifies the process of fabricating microdevices. The attractive performance of the novel PMMA microchips has been demonstrated in connection with contactless conductivity detection for the separation and detection of ionic species.
