Microlens Fabrication by Replica Molding of Electro-Hydrodynamic Printing Liquid Mold [PDF]
Micromachines, 2020 In this paper, we synergistically combine electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing and replica molding for the fabrication of microlenses. Glycerol solution microdroplets was sprayed onto the ITO glass to form liquid mold by an EHD printing process. The liquid

Cell encapsulation in sub-mm sized gel modules using replica molding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 For many types of cells, behavior in two-dimensional (2D) culture differs from that in three-dimensional (3D) culture. Among biologists, 2D culture on treated plastic surfaces is currently the most popular method for cell culture.
