Simple, Three-Dimensional Microfabrication of Electrodeposited Structures

A simplified preparation of three‐dimensional microfabricated structures requires only a small number of experimental steps and a single photolithographic mask. The process has been used to mimic microfluidic vascular networks (see picture) and can be achieved with such diverse materials as pure nic...

Summary:A simplified preparation of three‐dimensional microfabricated structures requires only a small number of experimental steps and a single photolithographic mask. The process has been used to mimic microfluidic vascular networks (see picture) and can be achieved with such diverse materials as pure nickel and polypyrrole, thus allowing for great diversity in the as‐prepared devices.
