“…A wide spectrum of other applications which would benefit from this replica molding technique include microfluidics, microelectronics, photonic components, functional coatings. [30][31][32][33] The elastomer for replica molding was prepared by mixing PDMS with a thermo-initiator at 10:1 weight ratio, respectively. Then the mixture was degassed in a vacuum chamber until all air bubbles were removed.…”

In this work we present the latest results in the application of multi-photon polymerization for tissue engineering, by fabricating microstructured artificial 3D scaffolds for stem cell growth. Microstructuring of large scale 3D scaffolds is investigated and the direct laser writing technique is supplemented by fabrication by multi-beam interference and micromolding of large scale structures. Within the limitation of our study, we conclude that the proposed nonlinear direct laser writing technique offers rapid and flexible fabrication of biomedical components with required shape, pore size and general porosity. The applications could target biostable and biodegradable implants applied for bone or tissue replacement as well as drug delivery or release agents.

“…Replica moulding (REM) using organic polymers is a well-known technique that has found wide-spread applications in the manufacturing of micro-and nanometre-sized structures such as diffraction gratings [323], CDs [324], microtools [325], holograms [326] and photonic devices [327]. This technique is performed in a simple three-part process (Fig.…”

Nanostructured materials have become an increasingly important theme in research, in no small part due to the potential impacts this science holds for applications in technology, including such notable areas as sensors, medicine, and high-performance integrated circuits. Conventional methods, such as the top-down approaches of projection lithography and scanning beam lithography, have been the primary means for patterning materials at the nanoscale. This article provides an overview of unconventional methods -both top-down and bottom-up approaches -for generating nanoscale patterns in a variety of materials, including methods that can be applied to fragile molecular systems that are difficult to pattern using conventional lithographic techniques. The promise, recent progress, advantages, limitations, and challenges to future development associated with each of these unconventional lithographic techniques will be discussed with consideration given to their potential for use in large-scale manufacturing.

“…However, its complex fabrication process leads to high cost and non-reproducibility. As known well in other optical devices, polymeric materials have some advantages like simple process, low cost, easy integration with other devices [7,8]. Several polymeric PhC devices have been also reported [9][10][11].…”
