Low cost integration of microwire electrodes into silicone elastomeric devices using modified xurographic methods

A xurographic process for integration of microwire electrode into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been developed. In this process, fast and low-cost integration of high performance microelectrodes of uniform diameter down to 25 μm and made of various materials can be done without any expensive equipment, labour intensive process and cleanroom environment. This versatile xurographic process is also capable of integrating suspended microelectrodes in the middle of the microchannel.
