Hi,

One thing I learned is that Kapton bond to almost nothing.

One of our group member used to do Si/PDMS bonding and she suffered a
problem that the PDMS also bond to a copper fixture she used to apply
pressure on it. I suggested her to tape kapton on the fixture to
isolate the PDMS from the fixture because kapton is something don't
adhere and can sustain the temperature. It works.

Best

> I searched old posts about addressing this issue without any luck. Basically,
I have a Kapton sheet with electrodes on it and try to bond it with PDMS. I
found PDMS does not adhere to Kapton to form a stable bonding. Both PDMS and
Kapton are cleaned with acetone, IPA and DI water, dried and treated with O2
plasma for 1min and 5mins respectively. Can anyone shed some light on me?
