This study aimed to evaluate the optimal conditions for crosslinked of PAMA/PVA microneedle (MN) arrays. Poly (acrylic acid-co-maleic acid) (PAMA)/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) MN arrays were fabricated for the first time using the micromolding technique. The PAMA/PVA MN arrays at the polymer ratio of...
