SCHOTT recommending the AutoGlow plasma system:
From the SCHOTT site: Can SCHOTT offer any advice on the best method of bonding Glass D (D263) to Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)?
The three most common systems / methods used by SCHOTT customers to bond D263 to PDMS are:
- AutoGlow Plasma System
https://www.glowresearch.org/applications.html - March Plasma treatment system
http://www.marchplasma.com/products.htmExample of a protocol: http://engineering.tufts.edu/microfab/index_files/SOP/PDMS_GlassBond_SOP.pdf - Jelight UV-ozone cleaner
“PDMS elastomer valves are formed by activating both sides of the PDMS membrane (254-ím-thick HT-6240, Bisco Silicones, Elk Grove, IL) with an UV ozone cleaner (Jelight Co. Inc., Irvine, CA) for 1.5 min to improve PDMS-glass bonding and then sandwiching the membrane between the manifold and the bonded channel wafers.”

“The valves were assembled after bonding in a manner similar to that outlined by Grover et al.27 Briefly, a PDMS membrane (254-ím-thick HT-6240, Bisco Silicones, Elk Grove, IL) was applied to the bonded channel/RTD wafer stack.glass manifold and spacer were separately cleaned in a UV-ozone cleaner (Jelight Co. Inc., Irvine, CA) and then irreversibly bonded at room temperature for 2 h.”
