Design and fabrication of topologically complex, three-dimensional microstructures
RJ Jackman, ST Brittain, A Adams, MG Prentiss… - Science, 1998 - science.org
Two concepts for use in the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) microstructures with
complex topologies are described. Both routes begin with a two-dimensional (2D) pattern
and transform it into a 3D microstructure. The concepts are illustrated by use of soft
lithographic techniques to transfer 2D patterns to cylindrical (pseudo-3D) substrates.
Subsequent steps—application of uniaxial strain, connection of patterns on intersecting
surfaces—transform these patterns into free-standing, 3D, noncylindrically symmetrical …
