Soft-lithographic replication of 3D microstructures with closed loops

Soft-lithographic replication of 3D microstructures with closed loops.

There is growing interest in lithographic technologies for creating 3D microstructures. Such techniques are generally serial in nature, prohibiting the mass production of devices. Soft-lithographic techniques show great promise for simple and rapid replication of arrays of microstructures but have heretofore not been capable of direct replication of structures with closed loops. We demonstrate ...

Broadband Microwave Lithographic 3D Components

A simple soft lithographic route to fabrication of poly(ethylene glycol) microstructures for protein and cell patterning.

We present a simple, direct soft lithographic method to fabricate poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) microstructures for protein and cell patterning. This lithographic method involves a molding process in which a uniform PEG film is molded with a patterned polydimethylsiloxane stamp by means of capillary force. The patterned surfaces created by this method provide excellent resistance towards non-spec...

Soft Loops

Foundation of soft sets was laid by Molodtsov [14] in 1999 in order to introduce a mathematical tool for modeling vagueness and uncertainty arising in computer sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, medical and many other fields. This is one of mathematical concepts like fuzzy sets [21], generalized fuzzy sets [6] and rough sets [16] given in order to overcome the difficulties in dealing ...

Soft lithographic methods for nano-fabrication

Soft l i thography is a low-cost, non-photolithographic strategy for carrying out micloand nano-fabrication. This unconventional approach consists oftechniques based on self-assembly and replica moiding oforganic molecules and polyneric marerialsFour such techniques, microcontact printing (ICP). replica molding. micromolding in capil laries (MIMIC), and microtransfer molding (ITM ). have been d...
