Hi everyone,

I am trying to bond PDMS Kapton, however, I am also having problems in keeping
the bond stable. Kapton comes off once treated with acetone. This query was
posted
On Memsnet sometime back. So, if someone has found a solution to this problem,
please do let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Forum

Hi,

I am trying to bond Kapton film to PDMS layer (spun on a Si wafer). The film
bonds well to the PDMS layer. However, it starts coming off when treated with
acetone and IPA ( in an ultrasonic tank) for around 15 min.  Could anyone
suggest a way to increase the adhesion between PDMS and the Kapton film, so that
it can be treated with IPA and acetone without damaging the bonding?

PS: The PDMS layer was cured at 100 C for 60 min.

Thank you.
