We have formulated and demonstrated a novel, superior, polymer system, OSTE, and its manufacturing platform, which is based on the mixture of three monomers: thiols, -enes and epoxies. The uniqueness of the OSTE approach stems from the curing in two distinct steps: after the first cure, an intermediate polymer is formed which is ideally suited for surface modifications and bonding; after the second cure we obtain an inert and robust polymer. The talk will introduce the novel polymer, and show functional medical and microfluidic components that demonstrate the unique opportunities that OSTE provides in terms of mechanical properties, surface modification and bonding.
