[mems-talk] Question on PDMS micro channels

[Joseph Grogan]

The acetone won't "attack" the PDMS to make it dissolve or anything like 
that, but it will strongly affect it by making it swell. Up to you to 
determine how much of a problem that causes. I also found the reference 
mentioned below to be extremely helpful.
