THE formation of patterned structures on micrometre-length scales is essential for the fabrication
of many electronic, optical and mechanical devices 1 . Patterning technologies are well …

Complex, optically functional surfaces in organic polymers can be fabricated by replicating
relief structures present on the surface of an elastomeric master with an ultraviolet or …

Procedures based on micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC) were used to pattern a surface of
a substrate with micrometer- and submicrometer-scale structures. An elastomeric stamp …

Microcontact printing, is described. It offers extreme experimental simplicity and flexibility,
relying on the ability of self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of longchain alkanethiolates on …

This paper describes the design and preparation of thin polymeric films that resist the adsorption
of proteins and the adhesion of bacteria to an extent comparable to, or better than, self-…

Meso-scale systems, that is, structures and phenom-ena having spatial dimensions in the
range extending from large molecules (perhaps 10 nm) through viruses to eukaryotic cells (10/…

This paper describes a new method for forming micron- and submicron-scale patterns of
copper on surfaces. This method uses microcontact printing (μCP) to deposit colloids that serve …

This paper describes applications in microfabrication using patterned self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs) formed by microcontact printing. Microcontact printing is a flexible new …

This paper describes the use of microcontact printing (//CP) 1 for patterning self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs) 2 of alkyl-siloxanes on the surface of silicon dioxide.//CP is a convenient …

Micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC) is a novel, simple and convenient procedure for crystallizing
microspheres from latex suspensions onto a support, and for delivering microspheres to …
