Analysis of Leachate using UV Spectroscopy. In order to investigate if any of the components of the hydrophilic inclusion is leached out of the H-PDMS films, three experiments were conducted for a 650µm thickness H-PDMS coating of a mass of 2.6g on a glass substrate (7.5 x 5 cm) after cleaning it properly using distilled water. In the first experiment, the sample was immersed in 30 ml distilled water inside a petri-dish, and it was covered and sealed with parafilm to avoid any evaporation. The same procedure was followed for experiment 2 as experiment 1 except that 30ml of 0.6M salt water was used instead of distilled water. In the third experiment, the H-PDMS coating was removed from the glass substrate and cut into small squares~(5 x 5mm); the cut coating was immersed in 30ml distilled water inside a glass vail and it was sonicated using a sonicator to find the maximum inclusion leached out. The water used for immersing the samples in the above three experiments was mixed before taking 3 ml sample for investigation analysis each 24 h for 10 days using UV-Visible spectrophotometric. The sonicated sample was sonicated for 3 hours daily before doing the analysis. For qualitative and quantitative analysis, the results were compared with a reference, control experiment, in which similar amount of the hydrophilic inclusion in 2.6g of H-PDMS was mixed with 30 ml water and analyzed using UV-Visible spectrophotometer.
