The data summarized in Figure show how the vertical displacement of the film increases in distilled water and salt solutions. As expected, the film swells faster in water than in the salt solutions. After about one day, the domed disk lost complete adhesion with H-PDMS in distilled water. A very slight agitation of water by a pipette caused the adherent to move out of the original contact. As the concentration of salt increases, longer time was needed before the domed disk lost adhesion to the film, with the detachment time increasing with the salinity of water. The maximum vertical displacement of the film reached, more or less, to about 60 m before the dislodgement of the adherent took place.
