The guideline of this work is the spontaneous rolling of oxidized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thin films in organic solvant vapors. Briefly, thin films of PDMS are produced by spin coating. Those films are then exposed to oxygen plasma which oxidizes and hardens their surfaces. When those systems are immersed in appropriate solvent vapors, non oxidized PDMS selectively swells. This leads to the spontaneous rolling of the films and thus to the formation of capillaries. This mechanism is of great interest for the fabrication of microfluidic channels because what is to become the inner surface of those channels can be characterized and functionalized prior to rolling.In a first chapter, different aspects of spontaneous rolling are reviewed the...
