Planar microparticle assembly and photopolymerized joining with holographic optical tweezers

Holographic optical tweezers are able to assemble and permanently join polystyrene microspheres into planar patterns using an acrylamide-based photopolymerization reaction. This approach holds potential as a new method for additive fabrication of multi-material microstructures.
