Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201404849-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A process to surface pattern polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)</bold> with ferromagnetic structures of varying sizes (micrometer to millimeter) and thicknesses (&gt;70 μm) is developed. Their flexibility and magnetic reach are utilized to confer dynamic, additive properties to a variety of substrates, such as coverslips and Eppendorf tubes. It is found that these substrates can generate additional modes of magnetic droplet manipulation, and can tunably steer magnetic‐cell organization. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3s8q0xrw" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
