title: Oxygen-Inhibition Lithography for the Fabrication of Multipolymeric Structures.
abstract: The oxygen inhibition of UV curable polymers is exploited in novel technology for the fabrication of patterns and closed devices. Multiscale structures with thicknesses ranging from few micro-meters to millimeters are rapidly fabricated. Multipolymeric and multifunctional structures are also prepared: adequately choosing the material of each layer, a set of different properties is arranged in the same device.
