چکیده
This Communication describes the use of patterned elastomeric stamps to mold, release, and stack hydrogels into three-dimensional microstructures. Molding of gels against stamps derivatized by a hexa(ethylene glycol)-terminated self-assembled monolayer or by an adsorbed monolayer of bovine serum albumin allowed the application of several soft lithographic techniques (replica molding, microtransfer molding, and micromolding in capillaries) to the microfabrication of gels. We describe procedures to generate coplanar or bilayered composites of gels.

Lithographic semiconductor microfabrication has been employed with great success for the manufacture of mechanical structures, achieving microscopic dimensions and great complexity at low cost. However, due to the inherently planar nature of the lithographic process, this technology is limited in its capability to produce three-dimensional structures. In this work, three strategies are presente...
متن کاملThree dimensional metal pattern transfer for replica molded microstructures
We report a replica molding process for simultaneously forming a three dimensional metal pattern on the surface of molded polymer microstructures. This technique uses noncovalent surface forces to guide the transfer of thin metal films from the three dimensional features of high aspect ratio poly dimethylsiloxane micromolds to polymeric replicates. The utility of this technique has been demonst...

متن کاملFluorinated colloidal emulsion of photochangeable rheological behavior as a sacrificial agent to fabricate organic, three-dimensional microstructures.
Three-dimensional organic microfabrication, an emerging technology, faces the challenge of lacking a sacrificial agent (SA) to temporarily support the formation of microscale geometries, which can be removed after a microstructure is constructed. In this study, an ultradense oil-in-organofluorine colloidal emulsion with photopolymerizable submicrometer droplets (diameter approximately 500 nm) w...
