HI, I understood that the hydrophillicity is not permanent, may be after oxygen plasma. The surface of the PDMS forms Si-OH, hydrophobicity recovery effect due to diffusion of cyclic oligomeric dimethylsiloxanes to the surface so it becomes hydrophobic after sometime. Coat it with some reacting gas after oxygen plasma. If you make it more SiO2 maybe it remains hydrophillic. Check it out. All the best. RIGHEIRA Carnegie
