Micro Contact Printing
Microcontact printing (or μCP) is a form of soft lithography that uses the relief patterns on a master Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp to form patterns of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of ink on the surface of a substrate through conformal contact. Its applications are wide ranging including microelectronics, surface chemistry and cell biology.
