title = "Uv-light based structuring of unbreakable hydrophobic barriers on commonly used papers",
abstract = "In this paper we introduce a new protocol to lithographically structure bendable hydrophobic layers on paper which are commonly used as platforms for biological paper-based microfluidic devices. The method we present creates hydrophobic barriers on paper using silanization with dimethoxydimethylsilane. Unlike wax barriers these barriers do not break if the paper is bent. Furthermore we immobilized streptavidinalkaline phosphatase on to the non-structured area and carried out an enzymatic assay to demonstrate the biocompatibility of our method.",
