Fabrication, Densification, and Replica Molding of 3D Carbon Nanotube Microstructures [PDF]
The introduction of new materials and processes to microfabrication has, in large part, enabled many important advances in microsystems, lab-on-a-chip devices, and their applications. In particular, capabilities for cost-effective fabrication of polymer microstructures were transformed by the advent of soft lithography and other micromolding ...
