abstract = "This paper describes a convenient method for the covalent modification of PDMS with PEG chains to suppress nonspecific protein adsorption. PEG additives terminated with a vinyl groups react with the silane groups on the PDMS during thermally curing, covalently linking PEG groups to the PDMS network. The PEG modified PDMS surfaces are characterized with FTIR, XPS and contact angle measurement. We also examined the modified PDMS for on-chip capillary electrophoresis and its capability of resisting nonspecific protein adsorption using BSA as model. Based on our study, a molecular mechanism is given to explain the surface properties of the modified PDMS surfaces.",
