Physical and chemical methods for surface modification of poly methyl methacrylate microfluidic chips

One of the most common polymeric materials used to fabrication the microfluidic chips is polymethylmethacrylate. Although the polymer has the desired physical and chemical properties for many applications in analytical chemistry, medicine, biotechnology, but its hydrophobicity and lack of reactive groups on the surface leads to a modification. The paper presents the results of studies of chemical and physical processing methods to improve the surface wetting and create conditions for the subsequent organization of functional groups.
