The table summarizes some of the relevant parameters of the studies. We excluded studies with quantitative results for less than three compounds. Values are estimated from available data where not explicitly stated in the relevant papers. R, surface area-to-liquid volume ratio.
Number of compounds in total; meeting Auner et al.’s proposed criteria of TPSA < 0.9 nm2 and H-Bd < 2;11,56 and with PDMS sorption > 30%.
Non-PDMS controls are required to account for, for example, thermal degradation losses, and for inclusion in Figure 2b.
Microfluidic (μF) or disk immersion (I)-type experiments.
Recirculating ↶ or linear →.
For time-resolved studies which continued measuring beyond where steady-state conditions were achieved, we denote the typical duration to the steady state instead (+).
Though our study includes 18 compounds in total, sorption quantification in devices is only possible for 13 due to the compounding losses discussed in Section 3.2.
Question marks (?) denote works where plasma treatment was studied, but where it remains unclear whether it was applied for the sorption measurements.
