Abstract:
A method of preparing deformable polydimethylsiloxane sheet culture substrates by oxygen plasma vulcanization was developed. As compared with the traditional heating vulcanization method, the substrates prepared in this way have hydrophilic surfaces, the adhesion and spreading of cells both occur quickly, and the wrinkling deformation of substrates develops quickly, too. In addition, the changes of wrinkles during treatment of cytochalasin D were observed, and the result shows that this technique has high temporal resolution.
