Polymer microstructures are prepared by inkjet etching. By varying the distance between the printed solvent droplets, rectangular and honeycomb hole arrays like those shown in the figure are formed. These holes can act as reservoirs for other inkjet-printed materials, such as quantum dots. The technique holds promise for rapid- prototyping applications and microarray fabrication.
