We report on strategies to form polymer microstructures on patterned substrates using the hydrophobic effect for fabrication of optical microsystems. We compare three different liquid phase dewetting methods by the example of microlens arrays.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
