In this paper development of cost effective polymeric material based micro devices using soft lithography techniques had been discussed. This includes polymer based micro fluidic devices for bioengineering applications to study the self-assembly of bio-molecules in bio-MEMS. We had investigated the effects of diffusing transition metals into soft polymer based micro channel network (MCN) to control the surface charge and chemistry. These inorganic coatings and metal particle diffused into the MCN has been derivatised with various organic functionalities. This process can lead to novel characteristics of these devices for different bioengineering applications including bio-molecules separation and controlled electro osmotic mobility.
