Hydrophilic PDMS demonstrated improved long-term stability with simple additive modifications.
Key findings include the effectiveness of a PDMS–PEG block copolymer to enhance hydrophilicity.
The method employed involved mixing PDMS with a block copolymer, avoiding complex surface modifications.
Such modifications may enable new applications in medical devices and materials research.

Fabrication of hydrophilic PDMS using a block copolymer improves stability, suggesting new methods for durable materials.
